No. She was just going after the management types because I think they were giving her drugs in exchange. There was this one skank that talked me into giving her a ride home, but didn't tell me that her mullet head bf was coming along too.

I really hated that job and just about everyone that worked there. It is true that turnover rate at those telemarketing places was high. If the new employees could make it through the first day, on average they lasted about 1 or 2 weeks. One other trait that telemarketers have is that they are chain smokers. There were times in the boiler room that the smoke was so thick it looked like someone turned on a fog machine. I never smoked but when I got a cold, it hung on for weeks because of all that crap I was breathing in.

After going through 2 years of phone sales crap I vowed never to work in a phone room ever again, even though I was making around $200 in commissions per 5 hour shift. Even though it happened a long time ago, I still feel bad about ripping off all those old people.

At first he's genuinely concerned, but the MOMENT any interest is expressed.  "Well, if I could have the papwerwork out to you this afternoon..?"

I got a telemarketer last night.  Per the advice on this thread I told them that my wife had passed away that morning.

Then she said who she was:  the cable company!  And they're going to update their computers to show that the subscriber (my wife) is now deceased!!!!!


Anyone know of any good dish deals?

You're a better man than I am. They beat me. I got another phone line for business only calls and have been just barraged with telemarketers - two dozen calls a day at least. The law says they have to take you off their list if you ask them, but after six months with no diminishment I threw in the towel. I got the low-down from one of them that the lady who had the number before me was on a lot of these lists. She was very lonely and seemed to like them!

Anyway, it took me a while to get the line so I now only use it as an answering machine (with the ringer off) and to dial out for pizza :)

I told the lady trying to sell me a caller ID box that I didn't have a telephone.  When she asked how we were talking, I told her she was one of the voices in my head. Click!

Lately, I get the company name, TM name and address and then advise them that there's a twenty dollar per minute fee for being telemarketed at my house, will you accept the charges?  Click!

Guys, while messing with these idiots IS fun, it is also completely controllable.  Just get Privacy Director from your phone company!  It shunts ALL unidentified callers, and 99% of these jackasses are unidentified, into a deal where they have to identify themselves i/o to continue.  I got this like well over a year ago, and not ONE telemarketing call to date!

Listen, Goet.  Just phone them up, and tell them you were mistaken.

"It happens all the time."
