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.

	When I worked as a phone surveyor (like a telemarketer, but you pretend you're not selling your soul) people would say, "take me off your list!" and then hang up, and they'd just get stuck back in the queue since technically there was no list to take them off of, and they needed to be instead placed on a list.

	I like phone surveys! They're always at least a little entertaining. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man, I worked there three months and I swear it gave me a personality disorder. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	If I've got nothing better to do, I will do the survey on those. Though with the one Christian one on objectionable film content, I probably sent the girl needing a phone break after she was done with me. I think I broke her brain with the parental responsibility argument. (Reply to this)(Parent)
