A discussion from another thread made me think... not so much telemarketers, but that it is not illegal, one.
Second, people that bitch about having to talk to them. What I cannot figure out is why they don't
just hang up!!!!!

Why don't people just hang-up on telemarketers? If you don't like them, don't like talking to them, just hang-up... it hurts my damn head!
My Dad: "Who was that?"
Me" "Telemarketer"
"You didn't say anything, you just hung-up"
"Yeah? I don't like talking to telemarketers, don't think it should be legal. Got nothing to say."
"But, but... you just hung-up"
"...aaannnnd?"
"I could never do that"
Then I have a tiny aneurysm.

They are BAD PEOPLE!!!!!!
I may have to rethink my position on the existence of evil and bad people now.
I am serious about telemarketing being illegal, also, I am on every no-call list out there.
Worked for a while, about two months ago I started getting them again... something I should know?
Another thing, I don't talk to machines, no I will not "hold for your important message".
I really pissed-off a medical business with that recently.
"We have been trying to get in touch with you for six months".
I told them I have not heard from them at all. She said that I have been hanging up on them, so I told her that I hang-up on any calls that come-up with all zeros, private on my caller ID (they don't get to leave messages if they are too sleazy and hide) and I hang-up on machines. If you want to talk to me, you will call me.
For some reason she took it personally... makes no sense to me. I was very polite the whole time & did not use the word sleazy, just meant it.
