    Is it just me, or is it as if these people talk like they don't have souls? lol its like you can hear the repetitism in their voice, like "we here at Blahballah corperation are hoping you are haveing a wonderful day, and we would like to give you a special bonus offer with just 9.99 extra, you see when our gizmo ballunk de dunk scribble dee scrawbbles, this deal my friend is up to you freshdacre you get all that plus an all out deal of 39.99! that is saving you 122.82 altogether."
    Its up to you freshdacre its all up to you."

    I mean ffs are they really so perma fried from all of their calls that they sound like zombies?? I hope I never end up like that.

    Live callers? What fun.

    I don't get that sort of thing, for a while I had a few assholes tape machine calling my phone, but it's a cell and when they started getting me daily I put the number in my phone, and started ignoring it. Calls stopped right off.

    "this is NOT a recording, even though it's obviously a recording. This is allied data technologies, stay on the line for fucking important information about a field of work that exists solely to take your money, without offering any merchandise or goods of any sort in return. Sucka."

    I have a Magic Jack...so far no telemarketers, but it's still new, so...knock on wood, I guess. But it sucks because only people with Magic Jacks and cell phones can call me now. Thank god EVERYONE I know has a cell phone or I'd be in real trouble.

    I wish I didnt have a life sometimes. Id make one calling all the 1800# on tv and harassing them.... and the telemarketers.. I do sometimes, but theres gold there.. you can make a business just fucking with them, be an internet sensation- If your good at it, forget the soundboard shit. Adlib.

    to be honest, i would be more concerned about a veteran telemarketer who was still enthusiastic about making calls.

    i think the best ones are probably the recordings that call you and put you on hold, or give you a phone number that you have to call.

    i'd like to call the 1800s and make fun of their lack of modern technology. [​IMG]

    I think it would get to the point where you have said the same exact things over and over that you would just start saying your script without even having to think about it. Probably why they sound so mortified there trying to sell you some piece of junk while there thinking about dinner when they get home.

    next time i should express interest in their product. that will probably throw them off enough to get something other than their stock response.

    I frigging hate them.

    I'm on the do not call list, but that doesn't stop the scammers, since they are already breaking the law, what do they care...

    I get call after call every fucking day. I used to just hang up because it's always a recorded message.. but then they just call back 5 minutes later. So I answer and press 1 for a live person... kindly ask to be taken off the list... and they keep fucking calling.

    The last one that called about the police offering free home security systems in my area is the worst. they call every day (from a different city every time) and today I finally snapped and told them if I ever get one more call from them again that I would sue for harassment. I was clearly agitated, but still managed to be cival saying to the operator "I know this isn't you fault, you're just doing your job. But tell your supervisor I have had enough of this fucking harassment!"

    And I will, I swear to god I will take these people for every fucking penny I can get if they don't leave me alone. I get telemmarketing calls at fucking 9:45 at night and 7 in the fucking morning. At least two a day.

    I have a case. I'll make it a class action suit if anyone else is getting this same call and wants a peice of the action.

    We cancelled our home phone when we started getting calls from Nevada at 11pm. It happened 4 nights in a row and finally, I screamed at them that there is a 3 hour time difference and I will go out there and blow their establishment up.

    this call may be monitored for quality insurance... If so: you think they would get the message "stop fucking calling me" ..

    I used to get calls from Vancouver at 3am, due to a 3 hour time difference, but it turned out to be my friends drunk dialing me...
