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.

Speaking of screening calls, the OP's post was hilarious when s/he said: "In fact some people have sensitive ears and hearing your three year old "singing" (cat's dying is what it sounded like) every day for over a week because you were never home is NOT FUN!!!".

I doubt those people are never home. Most likely, they are right there when the OP calls, screening. The fact that it is a very annoying out-going message just makes it that much funnier.

	I'm betting it's done on purpose, and their real friends mostly call their cells. Our message machine still says I'm using the internet and tying up the phone line, even though we've had dsl for years. xD (Reply to this)(Parent)
