i swear the ONLY people that know my phone number are telemarketers. i get about 18 telemarketer calls a day. the other day i was playing along with a 'phone survey where i could have the change to WIN WIN WIN' and i started answering questions occasionally screaming at the top of my lungs "NO YOU CAN'T HAVE A COOKIE! NOW GET THE FUCK BACK IN THE BASEMENT BEFORE I BREAK YOUR OTHER LEG!.....oh sorry ma'am. damn kids." i could hear her sort of snickering on the other end, then she said 'for quality purposes this phone call may be monitored or recorded' and i said 'oh fuck, then i'm gonna go so you don't get me saying i'm gonna murder my kids on tape' and hung up. post funny things i should do to telemarketers. i'll have at least 5 other opportunities tonight alone. |

Hmm... if they're calling to sell you long distance service or some other phone related amenity, you could just tell them you don't have a phone and hang up while they're still reeling from the confusion. |

Dude, whatever you do don't piss them off.. I used to do that, and now they must've put me on some call-very-often-be-very-annoying list or something. |

say this: 'take me off your list', they're usually happy to, they might just ask to verify the number so they can remove it from their system. i know i was happy to do so when I was doing market research surveys |

Yeah, I guess I sort of did that. If it was like some cranky bitch who was like "DON'T CALL ME AGAIN ASSHOLE! *click*" I was like: "Hmm, I think we should call back in 1 hour. there you go bitch" |

There's a difference between surveyors and those who try to peddle stuff. They'll bug you till you succumb, and then some.. |

Yeah, I'm on a phone 8 hours a fucking day now, and I'm learning to hate them. Never used them much before. Horrible invention, I'd rather just instant message everyone about everything. |

Hewlett Packard tech support. Which isn't all that bad and I get a lot of downtime to browse the net, but I have to deal with a couple of arseholes a day. And lots of clueless little old ladies. They're my favorite. |

Ahh not soooo bad, you'rre not a subject of hate atleast. I (don't shoot me) was one of those chumps who had to rring people and ask them if they wanted double glazing etc... forr about 3 hourrs then I told them wherre to stick the job. |
