Should all be shot! ( This was in reference to computers on my answering service as I long have given up answering my phone ... not individuals) That said... I need to know where to sign up to get them to stop ringing my phone 3 times a day!

thanks.

Telemarketers are people too!

Lemme get ya the number though.

Oh, I have fun with telemarketers. Jim Rome told me to drop the manual buzzer on them, which is what I'm going to do on the next one.

The manual buzzer is just where when they get to the sell question, you just make a sound like a wrong answer buzzer.


aaaaahhhhh!!!!!

Do like I do and don't answer if you have caller id. Telemarketers will get in trouble if you lead them to believe they're talking to the wrong person, because they can't give out info. to anyone but the person they're calling for. My aunt does this sometimes just to fuck with them

all i can say is, it's fucking hard to deal with assholes every fucking day and you know what? Sears customers are fucking SPOILED ROTTEN ASSHOLES.

thank you for making me remember the worst night of my life @ work.


good day.


fucking edit.

Well, I don't think they should be shot, but telemarketing should be outlawed. It's nothing but a pain in the ass. Most telemarketers that call me sound as though they don't have a clue what they're selling or even talking about. Some do, but most don't. I don't have the time in my day for them, so I have recently stopped giving them my time. As soon as I know it's a telemarketer, I say no thanks and hang up. End of story!

its fucking hard! i mean i make 1000$ in sales sometimes but its fucking hard.
you know WHY im stuck here? because i cant get a job anywhere else because this place is fucking ghost town
and you know what? they pay GOOD.

but i now have respect for people that do these jobs
you think THEY want to be on the phone with YOU? hell no!
they just want to get the day over with because they know that they're going to get shit customer after shit customer.

SammiJ said:

True!

They need to outlaw those bastards. They will call you over and over unless you start having fun with them yourself and make them afraid to call back. Here are some of my tricks.....

1. One bitch called me one morning and I asked her what her phone number was. She gave me an 800 number and I said "No, what is your home phone number". She kind of giggled thinking I was flirting with her and said "That's private". I said "Well, I think it's only fair that I have your home phone number so I can call and worry the hell out of you at home like you are doing to me".

2. Another lady called me and went into her speech. I listened and afterwards I asked her...."Do you know what a woman is that solicits men over the phone?" She said "What?". I said "A call girl...so tell your pimp that you will get no money from here bitch".

3. Another trick is to make them think you are crazy. Say crazy things throughout the conversation such as "I see a big red ball rolling down the street". "Do you ever play with play dough".

4. A male called me and I told him he had a very nice voice. Then I told him I bet he had a big dick and would he describe it to me.

Try some of these tricks and those bastards will be hanging up on you instead of you hanging up on them.

thanks

i've become really bitter towards people now because i realize how they can be when they don't know who's on the phone.

just last night i was called a miserable bitch by some woman who sounded like she needed the prozak and not me.


and u know what else? it really shows how shallow people can be
its a fucking phone call, 2 minutes out of your busy busy day...when in reality guaranteed besides their job they have NOTHING else
they need to realize they're not all high and mighty and are running the world..its a phone call... just say no thanks, but thanks for calling

BEING POLITE IS COOL TOO.

Telemarketers and those stupid FOP Fundraiser people are the #1 reason I will never get a landline or digital phone line again, ever. I switched to just my Cell phone a couple years ago, and never looked back. I haven't recieved any telemarketer calls since. There's no sense in paying $35 bucks a month so salespeople can harass you all day.

vainandy said:

ok let me tell you this:

FIRST of all, its not the same person calling time after time, if we don't get thru with that call, we are OBLIGATED to set up a next call for someone else to get on an AUTOMATIC DIALER to see if they can get thru..it's not OUR fault if we don't want to get fired and have to do it. so sorry. you see an unknown name and number don't answer it then...just ride it out.
im not a trick or a bastard u see me here everyday and yeah i'm a telemarketer so

SammiJ said:

1) CALM DOWN...

2) I am referring to the you have won a vacation variety of crap

3) IF you work in an annoyance field like that then you have to expect that its annoying! You are there for the check...

4) Not using your home phone because 3-5 calls per day are crap is just that, crap.) Please! Are you honestly gonna say it doesnt annoy you?

i used to be one. couldn't hack it.



the abuse, the indifference.. it takes a certain kind of resiliance which i lack.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

it may be annoying, but what's 2 minutes out of your day to just say no i'm not interested,really, thank u very much. ?

SammiJ said:

I think people get frustrated when it's call after call after call by multiple telemarketers and maybe they just take their anger out on the next unsuspecting telemarketer.

its really hard
this one girl beside me got cussed up and down accused of being from some other company
the man made her cry over the phone - she'd been working there for 7 years.

I have had the exact same ones call me before. I have told some before "Bitch, I recognize your voice and I told you last time not to call this damn number no more".

As far as looking at a caller ID, I'm not going to spend one red cent extra just to keep from speaking to some asshole I don't want to speak to. I finally got sick of them and now I have my answering machine set to pick up on the first ring. My machine picks up each and every call and has for years. I never answer my home phone any more, ever. Everyone I know says "Pick up if you are there" and then I pick up.

Then the telemarketers started calling me at work, which I have no idea how they got that number. I told this one lady "Bitch, this is a place of business what the fuck are you doing calling me up here?" She said "I've been calling your home number and never could reach you because of your answering machine". I said "Bitch, what the fuck do you think the answering machine is for? It's so I never have to speak to someone like you. Bitch, you've reached me now but I'm going to make you wish you hadn't reached me because this conversation is not going to be pleasant bitch". When I got through cussing that bitch out, she NEVER called me back.

SammiJ said:

That would be great if it were the end of it however the same people call me manytimes a week.....

We don't have to agree on this

I too did it for a good 8 seconds in my 17th year on earth and I sure hated it but I expected it to suck... I also didn't blame people for hating it and in those days it wasnt all that often it occured.

Why I should I have to listen to unsolicited phone calls some 30-50 times a week?

alright whatever we won't agree on this so it's done
im just saying they're not all about calling you
it's a job and they gotta do it because often there's nothing else.

so whatever.

SammiJ said:

I personally wouldn't let a few curse words get to me. That person doesn't know me, so it's not like they're making personal attacks on me. I think you just gotta have tough skin going in to that business.

vainandy said:

damn, you are serious

AnckSuNamun said:

yeah, like, if I did HAVE to do it, I'd just accept that that is part of it, you just ignore it and do your job. Thick skin is a good thing to have in all of LIFE, not just in your occupation.

Isn't there some organization that you can phone to have your name taken off the list?
