Q: "Currently Receiving The Washington Post?" A: "Currently, I'm Trying To Have My Supper"


This is pretty much the perfect reply to an annoying telemarketer, and the perfect complaint letter to send when he cusses you out.

Q: you know why telemarketers exist?
A: because they work.

I was a telemarketer when i was younger. in fact, i was pretty darn good (i received 4 promotions in 6 months). however, there was one time in which an older gentleman asked to speak to my supervisor and said that i had cussed him out (which was untrue). he went on to tell my supervisor how horrible my attitude was and demanded i be repremanded or fired! as luck would have it, my supervisor was monitoring that exact call for an evaluation later.
most supervisors in the telemarketing field ignore these complaints knowing its rude (potential) customers that just find a way to retaliate against telemarketers. these kids and other folks are simply trying to get a job done and make a living...usually just like you!
do not just hang up on these people. if you do not want to be called, be sure you tell them take me off your call list and your selling list (even if they cant call you, they can still sell your information to other marketers). most companies are pretty decent in removing you on the spot.
