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 [...]

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
September 12, 2007 at 8:39 am
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.

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.

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.

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.
