Does wank + telemarketing = phone sex?
Oh, customers_suck, you bastion of wank.

[info]shadowsync posts a potentially wanky list of things to do when a telemarketer calls (how to get them to stop calling you the polite way, but phrased badly).

Of course, it's customers_suck. Are they going to let them live it down?

Not if they can help it!

Be sure to look out for [info]tigerwolf's comment about his newly-purchased airhorn (second page), and [info]susano_otter's comment about how telemarketing is equivalent to selling yourself (second linked thread, last comment).

And, of course, there's a condensed version of the stupid on stupid_free.

Telemarketing: only the strong survive.

ETA: Fixed to include link to original post.

Telemarketers are the reason I don't have a landline anymore - just a cell phone.

I got a spam text message on my cell phone the other day, that was new.

If that happens to me, I will have a *fit.* (I very rarely get text messages from Sprint--my cellphone provider--but those don't count in my limit.) I have a low monthly message limit and a long-distance relationship. I am *not* wasting my text messages on spam.

This happens to me occasionally and it's so much better than having a twenty-minute conversation with some poor sod about how I am PERFECTLY HAPPY with my current electricity provider THANK YOU GO AWAY. You just go "whee, delete!".
