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.

Not everyone has caller ID.

Or, as i mentioned above, there are countries where you have to opt-in into having your number shown. Both my mother's workplace and my grandmother don't have it, and no telemarketer ever shows their number. So I have the choice between picking up and potentially haviing to be polite to someone I don't know or potentially miss a call by my mother/grandmother, as they never use my answering machine.

Oh well. The Ops logic just totally escapes me.
