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

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

tigerwolf's comment about his newly-purchased airhorn (second page), and

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.

	Ugh, one of the hardest jobs I've ever had, but hey, had to put myself thru college somehow. Just tell them, "put me on your do not call list." [in the US] If you still get another call then the company calling you owes you big bucks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

I worked from a hard copy and that had me automatically put a line through their name. I never called back hang ups either, but those sheets got passed around alot so I'm sure someone did. At the very least that person didn't get a call from us for the rest of the day. I never had a problem with people hanging up on me or being short with me, but I never understood the people who thought cursing me out was okay.
