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.

For some reason my area is rife with call centres, so a lot of my friends are telemarketers. One of them called for a person and the woman on the other end started crying; a new voice came on and said, "That's my father; he died a month ago and my mother was just getting over it, you bitch." The next person she called for? She interrupted their wake.

At which point her supervisor said, "Well, um, you can go home for the rest of the day."

	Yeah. That never happened to me, but the girl next to me called for someone who was dead and their husband answered D: Not nice. (Reply to this)(Parent)
