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.

It may not be a problem for some, but before the no-call registry started, we got at least four or five a day, and near the end of the month it was around twenty. We live right in boiler-room central, so we are a local call for about a million telemarketing operations. We finally got an answering machine to screen calls. It took us forever to convince some of our relatives not to just hang up when they heard the machine because we were probably two feet from the phone, but that's another story.
