Rant: Telemarketers

[rumeo]

To add to the many telemarketer threads...

These bastards keep calling my house, my cell, my work! I can't get away from them! Any telemarketers hiring? If you can't beat em, join em!

Me: Hello?
Telemarketer: Hi, I'm calling from the Calgary Herald and I wanted to let you know about an off----blah blah blah, what's your address so I can sign you up?
Me: I'm not interested.
Telemarketer: When was the last time you read a Calgary Herald newspaper?
Me: 2 days ago.
Telemarketer: Exactly why you should sign up with us, what's your postal code?
Me: Not interested.
Telemarkter: Do you have a computer?
Me: Not interested. *click*

Most of the time its not even a real person, just a recording so you can't even waste their time

HAha reminds me of a post I saw

Telemarketer: Hi I was wondering if you had a few a seconds to hear our fantastic offer?
You: Sure. Where are you based from?
TM: We're based in Calgary!
You: Really? Did you know I was convicted of rape there 2 years ago?
TM: ...
You: You should've seen what she was wearing though, she was totally asking for it.
TM: ...
You: Am I right or what?
TM: *click*

I just don't answer if there is a 1-800 or blocked number on the caller ID, and I haven't talked to a telemarketer in months. If its not a telemarketer and its important, they will leave a message and I can get back to them immediately. I do get a lot of calls from them though.

I had RBC call me to try and push a loan on me a few weeks ago and the girl asked what I would spend the extra money on. I told her hookers. It went downhill from there.
