My rant for the day.

[youngmrstephen]

I can't stand telemarketers. They call my fucking house. While I'm eating my fucking dinner. I'm on a do not call list, which apparently means I'm just a sucka who thinks he has some sort of protection from this type of shit but doesn't for whatever bullshit excuse. If I'm fortunate enough to get a live asshole on the phone, they give me shit

what are the calls for? because i know that if you have a credit card and someone is calling you to get you to buy something for that credit card, they consider that a pre-existing relationship and they are allowed to call you. Unless you ask to be put on that specific company's DNC list. Some agents are assholes though and won't put you on the list. I'm sorry.

So far, my experience tells me that ALL these agents are assholes.

I know you can report them to...someplace. Maybe the Better Business Bureau?
Seattle Times is the worst offender of all time. They absolutely WILL NOT take me off their list no matter how many times I ask.

Start yelling at a pretend infant and threaten horrible, horrible things. Find sound effects of screaming babies and play them while you do this. Having gunshot sound effects cued up is awesome as well. Immediately after playing multiple gunshots, stop the crying baby effects and say you have to go.

Solved.

Here's what you do. Get rid of the landline and go cell phone only. I've had a few telemarketer calls on my cell phone (after giving my number out for wedding-related stuff) and after telling them once that it was a cell phone, never received another call from them.

Actually tell the telemarketers that your landline is a cell phone and watch them disappear.

[youngmrstephen]

Yes! I am going to do that. Thank you.

[electriclime]

I totally agree.

Wesa so smart.
