Telemarketers - How do you deal with them?

"... You just called at the wrong time"
"Hello! I'm [somebody] from Nicor Gas. How are you doing today?"
"I'm really not holding up too good."
"I'm sorry to hear that, but please consider this to brighten up your day."
*mnph* "oh man I really can't" *mnph*
"I can set you up with leak insurance for only-"
*BBBLLLARGGG!!*
"-Um sir? Are you okay?"
"I need hel-" *BBLLLARGG!*

That's the gist of it.

She looked for that... rofl... i guess she had her day done with that:biggrin:

the few times i have been bothered by one telemarketer i just hang up on them after a few polite curses :aargh: :biggrin:

they get 14 dollars an hour (i've heard thats what they get) to get insulted or yelled at... how smart are they)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

agree with that espressivo... that exactly what im thinking to say the next time a telemarketer calls :biggrin:

There's nowhere I can't reach.
