I’m tired of companies calling offering lower mortgages rates, free vacations, satellite etc…
Stop the madness, we don’t want anything that you have to offer. We just want you to stop calling once and for all! One more thing they call and address people by their first name. Hello! they think that by using my first name, I will answer the phone LOL. I’m not their friend so STOP the harassment.

I know what it’s like to be on both ends of the spectrum. I was a telemarketer for over 6 years and it was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had! We had to follow a script word for word or we would loose our job. Try and keep that in consideration when they call. Personally I just say I’m not interested and hang up. Do you have an answering machine or caller id? I know what you mean though when they refer to you by your first name and act like they’re your friend, that’s really irritating. Good Luck!
I can’t understand how they’ve started calling cellphones lately. And it’s always the automated ones that “determine” whether or not you’re an answering machine or a live person. 90% of the time the damn things think you’re an answering machine and go on with their automated shyte and you can’t politely tell a live person on the other end at the responsible company to piss off.
I’ve actually gotten to the point where I interrupt them, asking them such things as “how much do you make an hour?” “what’s the environment there like?” “do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, you sound cute/hot/sexy/etc…” and usually they get so flustered they can’t keep the call going. Some determined bastards will just cut you off and keep going, and those are the ones that I just lay into with the FCC regulations to remove my number/name from their calling lists and a polite “thank you and have a f#@king great day!”
