[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I said to the telemarketer: "Can I have your home #" [/ QUOTE ] You should be nice to telemarketers. How would you like to have that crummy job? It's not the telemarketers idea to hassle you. Either way: http://www.donotcall.gov [/ QUOTE ] I agree. I always just say "Sorry, not interested" and hang up if they persist. Stops them from wasting my time, and allows them to spend their time talking to someone who might have a remote possibility of buying whatever crap it is that they are selling. [/ QUOTE ] What about the ones that are dicks when you do this and continue to try to sell you something? [/ QUOTE ] I always act like I'm taking a crap. |

[/ QUOTE ] Just ask them their name and company name and have them spell it, because you are on the National Do Not call list, and they get polite and hang up real fast. I was pissed at my wife when she put us on this list because, the way I look at it, the telemarketers had to pay for a list of active phone numbers in the past, now the government is giving them one for free. And you know some people on this list put themselves on there because they got sucked into buying something before. I'm not real sure how I feel about the list. All I know is we don't get called any less, and I think the list helps out the telemarketers. |

Re: The stupidest, most trite, and overused quote of all time
I can't take it. Everytime I here someone use the line from Platoon that Oliver Stone used to describe combat duty, "long periods of boredom punctuated by surreal...", and apply it to whatever they're doing. Like mountain biking or something. Drives me nuts.

"it's not rocket science"
I was thinking about this the other day - rocket science is far from as cutting-edge as it was when this quote first became popular; it's actually pretty simple, standard technology nowadays (no offense patrick! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]). We should evolve this saying to "it's not nanotechnology" or something to that effect. |
