ways to annoy a telemarketer...looking for some suggestions here for an article.
DaveC said:Please dont.
I work in a call center. We're just doing our jobs and you folks who do this kind of thing just make our day that much worse.
I've seen people cry every day at work because of the abuse they get from customers.
Besides, how would you feel if you came into my workplace for something and I told you off?
Please...we have to do this, it's our job, it's our way of making money to support ourselves and our families. If you don't want to listen then just say "Thanks, but I'm not interested right now. Have a nice day." and hang up. It's not difficult.

"TEL: Hi, would you be interested in switching over to TMI long distance service.
JERRY: Oh, gee, I can't talk right now. Why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you later.
TEL: Uh, I'm sorry we're not allowed to do that.
JERRY: Oh, I guess you don't want people calling you at home.
TEL: No.
JERRY: Well now you know how I feel. [Hangs up]"
...I'd never have the courage to do that myself though.
