The lady got this letter after hanging up on a telemarketer. . . WOW!



Before you are rude to another telemarketer, you should keep in mind that he or she has your phone number and your address.

Many of them live in your own state and most don't give a (expletive)!

So, Ms. Beyer, the next time a telemarketer calls and you don't want to be bothered, a simple "not interested" will do.

Your son or daughter or next-door neighbor's daughter could very well be a telemarketer. A handicapped, wheelchair-bound person could be a telemarketer. A biker or ex-con is more likely to be a telemarketer. You really, really shouldn't (expletive) with them!

As they say in the telemarketing industry, "Have a good day Ms. Beyer!"
 
In the US: http://www.donotcall.gov

Before listing my number with that site (they no longer call 😀), I tried to keep in mind they're just people earning minimum wage or close to it, just trying to pay the bills. The people responsible for the fact that this type of advertising exists are a) the damn asses who buy stuff when telemarketers call them and b) the damn asses in charge of the companies that do it. A polite request to be put on their do not call list went a long way.
 
I don't care if they're making peanuts and the jobs sucks. If any telemarketer calls me I hang up. They shouldn't take it personally; it's the company I hate, not the employee.
 
Before do not call, I'd tell them I was interested but had to let the dog out and I would be right back on the line. I'd set the phone down and not come back.
 
I would own that telemarketing company in a flash had that letter been sent to me.
 
Someone who works as a telemarketer should take such reactions in stride. Otherwise, they're in the wrong career. Wait, did I just say telemarketing and career?
 
I make moaning sounds and tell them I'm busy, then I make more moaning sounds for a good 3 minutes then hang up 😉
 
If it is a female, I ask her if she would like to go on a date, what her favorite sexual position is, and if she prefers to spit or swallow. If it is a guy, I ask him if he can suck his own d!ck, theusual answer is "NO!" So then I calmly ask, so "So you actually have tried to?"
 
my mom is not a telemarketer, but she does telephone surveys for companies. very similar in my book. she used to be making good money, but a neurological disease has decreased her mobility to near zero. i've visited her at work frequently - the people there are very nice. usually elderly folks that can't find much work elsewhere.

i used to hate telemarketers, but everytime one of them calls me i always take the time and listen to their spiel. my mom can make 50 phone calls and not be able to conduct a single survey. take the time out and listen to what they have to say. it might be 15 minutes for you, but remember that the person on the the other end has been sitting there for hours.

I bet she didn't just slam the phone down. If you slam the phone down 'really hard'. all you get is a broken phone. She must have done smth out of the line to piss of that guy that much. She looks like a stupid b!tch, too.

He might as well swan dive off a highrise now - good luck getting a job with that on the record. 😉

my father always starts asking about them, the majority are college students it seems so he always asks what school they are going to and what they are studying and if this is really a wise career choice
