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.

	My mother did something like that once. The telemarketer called and asked for her and my mother said she wasn't available, she was at her husband's funeral. And my dad once told a telemarketer calling for me that I was in Venezuela, possibly being held on drug charges. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Before we were on the no-call list, telemarketers would call and ask for the man's ex-wife, so I started saying things like, "Sorry, she's chained in the basement."

Once I told a guy, "No, she was a cheating bitch, so he had to kill her," and he started laughing so hard he couldn't say anything else. :D I think there must have been some personal history there, cos even I didn't think it was that funny.
