I Hate Telemarketers…
But I’m not as creative as this guy.
Most creative thing I’ve ever done was try and get the annoying fuckers to have phone sex with me. Now, granted, that did get them to stop calling me … most of them.
Also, while we’re on the subject of people you don’t know trying to sell you on a product you couldn’t give two shits less about, go HERE and vote for Engtech. Don’t ask why, just fucking vote for Engtech. Are we clear on this?
And one more thing: Laurie Kendrick is a good friend of Ration Reality. She did an interview a short while back, and gave us a nice plug. Check the interview out HERE . She’s pretty entertaining to listen to - very funny lady, and her blog is very definitely worth reading as well.
And one more thing, a truly final last note. This guy is actually mildly entertaining. Check him out.
[...] where i nabbed that : nabbed without remorse at ration reality [...]
Remorse?
We don’t use that word here.
That is fucking GREAT!
Actually I love crank calling. My friends tease me because I’m - well, of an undisclosed age but anyway I digress - I still imagine pulling a crank now and then!
Unfortunately, 911 frowns on it.
When I think of crank calling, I think of phoning people up with some bullshit. Would this be reverse-crank calling? Crank answering?
Love it!
yes, the telemarketers are facing a lot of problems regarding their high tension job. But there is no point in hating the poor telemarketerss….
Market Research Guy:
Poor telemarketers my ass.
They call my fucking home, interrupt my fucking life, for a living.
If you’ve really hit hard times so badly that you have to take a bottomfeeder job, choose prostitution or drug smuggling. At least it’s a useful service.
Whoring and slinging at least have a code. Telemarketing? I’d rather sell used cars in some West Texas Shithole.
@MRG: High Tension? Please explain to me what aspects of this job could possibly stress someone out.
Keywork - take it from me. It’s high tension. Most of the telemarketers out there are working on commission only - not even minimum wage - and if they don’t sell you shit, they don’t get paid. I’ve been there, done that. I got burned out in about 2 months. It’s pretty stressful, especially when you get assholes like this guy that fuck with you.
Now, that said, I don’t feel a goddamned bit sorry for them. :D
Yeah, Jessie, but there are alot of jobs with the same pay schedule that require much more intestinal fortitude. It’s pretty easy to manipulate someone over the phone.
” It’s pretty easy to manipulate someone over the phone.”
Is that why phonesex lines are so popular?
We have a winner.
But trust me on this, Keywork, it’s REALLY REALLY REALLY FUCKING HARD to get someone to give up their social to a telemarketer, when you’re trying to get them to refinance their house.
Point taken. It’s also hard to convince someone that has already told you “no thanks” twice to come back into the showroom and have another look at that car they didn’t want. It’s all about the follow up.
KW: I totally read that as “showerroom”.
I’ve sold cars, too. I feel the pain.
I’ve been on the rich and poor sides of the coin on selling cars, tho. Selling Chevy’s sucks, when there’s 13 other dealers within 30 minutes of you, and you’re not a local boy.
Selling Subarus in your home town, in the fucking snow belt, with the nearest competition an hour and a half away, tho … that’s a winning proposition right there. And I made a cubic shit ton of money doing it.
BOE: I like that better.
Point taken. It’s also hard to convince someone that has already told you “no thanks” twice to come back into the showerroom and have another go at the Dirty Moose.
yeah, I did well with Volkswagen. Probably should have stuck with it. The dealership was in Fairfax, Va. Good location, lots of money, little competition.
I finally found a solution to the telemarketing harassment. It is called myoculus.com. They put me in control of the telemarketing process…finally
bibgoy: Is that a spam, or not a spam? Sometimes it’s hard to tell
definately spam. would you like some cialis?
I’m more an Adapex kinda girl
no surprise there.
Are you calling me fat?
well, considering the number of anorex/bul posts on this blog, I can’t call it either way. Just know that daddy loves you either way.
quick with the edit. that’s why you’re an editor.
(so long as you’re not a fatty)
whatevs. I assume it’s raining where you are.
No, why?
BTW: Ana & Mia are close family friends. My mom totally hangs with them both, and my bro is on again/off again dating that tramp Mia. That prolly ’splains my obsession.
i’m about out of here.
Later!
Oh, the quick edit was to leave myself open for a snark :)
could be. it always rains in N.C.
fair enough, thought I’d call you on it.
good night, bagel.
It never rains in my part. Always in a drought.
Who the fuck builds 2 cities where there’s no bodies of water?!
I live on a man-made lake tho, so we’re good.
Where the hell did Micky go?
Had to make dinner and shit
Man has always planted his ass in the dumbest fucking places. We should give these fucking idiot Africans U Hauls and tell em to get the fuck out of the desert.
We got people living on cliffs, in fucking igloos and on volcanos.
Just look at Vegas, how stupid is that ? They couldnt just move to the water, Nooo. They gotta build a fucking dam and then pipe the water in from god knows where so people can piss away their life savings. New Orleans, another clusterfuck of geniuses jump into the biggest fucking puncbowl they can find.
So you’re saying you’re against manmade lakes?
Man made lakes are stupid, unless its a little one for a park or something.
Its like if your blanket was too short so you cut off the bottom and sewed it to the top.
People follow the water.
On my side of the island we pipe water to the dry side.
In nicer terms, the fucking degenerate poor crime ridden side. Our water for agriculture and shit is taken away so people on welfare and shit can live In cracker boxes and feed off the government.
Not really, I just popcorn farted all that out of my ass.
Its been raining like a bitch in heat here for 3 days straight
“Its like if your blanket was too short so you cut off the bottom and sewed it to the top.”
That’s brilliant.
You’re not as dumb as you think! (there’s a pun in there — see it?)
Yea, well how come they kicked you out of mensa, huh ?
Cuz I quit sending them their dues.
That’s the real IQ test
Yea its like those seminars they give on how to be a millionaire and charge 400.00 dollars a head.
Thats how you become a millionaire.
I charge four hundred dollars for head.
Oh, DOH! You said a head. Same difference, right?
Not as far as your head goes.
By now your mouth must be in the back of your neck.
And you chew like a pez dispenser
