I never understood the hatred and animosity towards these guys. At least they are working for a living (and a tough job at that) instead of taking handouts from Obama. It never bothered me at all to get a call from a telemarketer. I just politely tell them I'm not interested and thank them for the call. I know that a lot of people cuss them out and everything else. I just don't understand where the hate comes from.


If anyone strongly disagrees and despises telemarketers. Why is that?

I agree... People hate themselves and use excuses to showcase their hatred among others..

I am very polite and courteous and understand they ate doing a job. However, when the same fucktards don't understand and call back a few tines, I am irate.

Three things I hate about them.

1) They are usually from Pakistan or India and I simply can't understand them so I feel like I'm wasting my time.

2) They call back after you tell them not to call back.

3) They disregard the do not call registry and call you anyway.

I'll tell you what Justine. Give me your number and the next time one of them calls me, I'll pass your number along.

I have only experienced the pakistan/india thing but not the other two.

The do not call registry is very serious and there are huge fines for breaking it. 20k + per call. You should probably report them

it only bothers me if they somehow get my cell number and call. Otherwise, I agree with you JC.

I don't hate them, but don't feel bad for them either. Usually just cut their rambling off with a "no thanks, not interested" and simply hang up.

I have reported them. Nothing ever happens. No feed-back from the agency that supposedly monitors the "do not call registry".

If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer the phone. If they keep calling, I'll eventually answer and say not interested and hang up.

If it's a Call from a Wayne Root type boiler room, and I have the time, I love to F with them. Keeping them on the phone with me for a few extra minutes is keeping some innocent newbie guy from getting fleeced by scum like Root.
