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.

I am NOT a telemarketer, and I agree x10 with those last two points. I work in store where we do lots of special orders, and it sucks to have some kid answer the phone when you've called to tell their parents you were able to order whatever it was they wanted. They either refuse to get their parents or hang up, or the ones who say they will take a message (and sound capable of it) never do, and then mom calls you back the next day and bitches you out because you 'never called her'.

And outgoing messages with kids who can barely speak English are fucking annoying. If I have to call someone I know with one of those messages, I try to do it when I know they'll be home.

	Did you read any of the above? Did it go over your little head? Do you have any idea how little we care about you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's good that the androids have this earnestness problem with their chip, makes them easy to spot at least. But we really need to blow up that damned underground lab that keeps sending them here. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	WTF is that this is a place for pointing and laughing about the wank, not for wanking itself. It's not always easy to remember, we've all erred on the side of earnestness at times. But after trying to beat it into mercymachine's head that zie should not bring the wank here, we expect that other people privy to said attempting beating would understand the lesson.

	Well, my thought processes were more along the lines of this comment: http://www.journalfen.net/community/otf_wank/523998.html?thread=38763998#t38763998 But it appears my brain-->keyboard connection=extreme fail. (Reply to this)(Parent)
