it's always been an annoyance to us to hear those tele-marketers on our phones.. but have we ever stopped to think about their situation? these people do this for a living so you can't really blame them, can you...?
i don't really hate them... plus.. i screen my calls now so they never get me on the phone these days. shifty.gif

They're fun to piss off.
But I do not like them.
It's annoying when I'm waiting for a call, and then they call and I get excited and think it's the person I'm waiting for to call. _dry.gif

I'm on the National Do-Not-Call List, but before that I'd have about 5-8 messages each day on my voicemail.

Ah, telemarketers dont call me house; my number was recently changed to a recycled number that i suppose had a bad rep of financial history. So, in other words they dont call my house because they THINK we're poor. abahaha

awesomo - i can enjoy dinner with peace ^__^

But, before that i'd always use to hear what they had to say then quickly hung up; mainly because i dont need anything they pitch to me and it's easy to get scammed over the phone.

I have a theory that they get your digits from where you enter those cheesy sweepstakes at malls and stuff for a car; where the car is on display and you fill out those cards with ur info and "enter" the rafle.

just my theory.......consPIRACY! blink.gif

^__^

me: "hello?"
telemarketer: "hi. my name is john, and i'd like to know if you'd be interes...."
*click*

it's that easy

but no, they don't bother me. they're just doing their job. what pisses me off is how the company has my phone number. invasion of privacy perhaps??

and roxy, feel free to call my house...i promise i won't hang up tongue.gif

yeah, they are really annoying. but since i have dial-up, when they call, they always reach a busy signal, so i don't get calls anymore.

Yeh, I hate 'em with a passion. pinch.gif I know they're just doing their job, but I'm sure that they don't lyke people always repeatedly calling their house. Once this telemarketer called my house around 6:00 AM on a Saturday, and they kept on calling, so I disconnected my phone to get more sleep. stubborn.gif Eeh.

And at the end of the day, I check the caller ID and see that we got forty calls, the majority of them belonging to telemarketers.

Yeah, I can't even count the number of times I got hung up on, or even worse, got cursed at! A few times I was even hit on... blink.gif

I was pretty good tho. I was the top seller almost every day for the 3 months I worked there.

i put i hate them,but after i ran the thought of they're just doing their job through my head haha...well. . . it would be more convenient if they wouldnt start off so fast and keep going until they are finished to let u talk..cuz most of the time they ramble on and when their done i say ... im not old enough to make the decisions in the house...and they hang up haha

I don't like them, but I do respect them. It's just their job though, and I feel sorry for the fact that they probably get yelled at.

but she kept asking me a lot of silly questions
and finally she spent 20 mins on it

I was a telemarketor over the summer.

Pay is pretty good for a part time job. for just sitting on ur butt all day talking. But, u gotta make commision though to make $$$. So, its sometimes stressful.

I bug them. I know how they work, its funny. I hate them myself. but, i try to be nice... Lol

sometimes, it gets really annoying especially when they try to sell you stuff even though you tell 'em that you're just a minor who's not in charge of anything in the household.. then they don't believe you just cuz your voice sounds old.. pinch.gif

oh well.. sometimes, i just wait until they stop then i say, "sorry i'm not interested. thanks. bye."

When my caller id says "unknown caller", I don't even bother picking up the phone because it always ends up being a telemarketer. But if I do end up picking up the phone, though telemarketers annoy the hell outta me, i still feel kinda bad just hanging up on them like that... But if it's like one of those computer-operated telemarketers, i don't really care.
