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.

	The real problem with susano_otter's statement is that C_S has a few legal prostitutes and other sex workers in the comm--and they generally get more respect than people who cop to being telemarketers. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	wankaholic 2007-01-20 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. Though that's not always true (I can remember a certain phone sex operator being accused of giving "bad service"), the sex workers in there are generally viewed with a great deal of respect. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I remember some fuss up some time back where one of the dancers/strippers on C_S had complained about drunks who still wanted to grope despite the establishment being no-touch and some had commented that they had it coming for being in that line of work. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I can't find the part where she talked about prostitutes. What'd she say? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wankaholic 2007-01-20 02:37 am UTC (link)
	That would be because she didn't. Instead, you're brainwashed and ripe for exploitation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seiberwing 2007-01-20 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Ah, okay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wankaholic 2007-01-20 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, perhaps bad wording on my part, but the whole "willing to be exploited" thing smacked of "willing to prostitute yourself" to me. So. Regardless, s/h/it still sucks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seiberwing 2007-01-20 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Oh, most assuredly. Your job is not her damn business. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	jrs1980 2007-01-20 03:37 am UTC (link)
	There was an "escorts" statement, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seiberwing 2007-01-20 03:41 am UTC (link)
	I should not find that amusing. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	ealusaid 2007-01-20 02:46 am UTC (link)
	That's what I was thinking, too. Honestly, I don't get it. The fact that someone has to do a crappy job for crappy money when it's almost universally socially acceptable to be rude to people in that position is worth at least sympathy, if not applause. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That would be due to the fact themercymachine 2007-01-20 04:15 am UTC (link)
	That sex workers are simply not as in your face, and thus much less annoying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: That would be due to the fact funwithrage 2007-01-20 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Well, or the fact that sex workers sell something people actually want. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: That would be due to the fact grand_sealink 2007-01-20 05:54 am UTC (link)
	For the win. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: That would be due to the fact funwithrage 2007-01-20 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	If only! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: That would be due to the fact funwithrage 2007-01-20 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds like a Monty Python skit in the making, really. Something with a bunch of scantily-clad girls sitting around someone's living room, and John Cleese on the phone all irate: "Stop sending these door-to-door tarts!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, the only thing that would be worse is if they spammed their comments verbatim. (Reply to this)(Parent)
