I like haggling with them..
- All this for only 19.95 !
- I'll give you 12 bucks..
- But sir, the price is 19.95
- Well, I say its worth 12 bucks to me... Let me speak to your manager...
Then when they put you on hold, hang up...
I absolutely despise telemarketers... I hate talking on the phone to people I know, much less someone trying to convince me i need to change long distance carriers. The most fun I ever had was from a carpet cleaning company that had screwed up my carpet the year before...
1st thing they asked..
- Could we speak to Miss Kim XXXXXX (my ex girlfriend who dosnt live there anymore)
- Im sorry, she doesnt live .... here any longer
- Well, could we interest you in a carpet cleaning? (Then go into their long rant about what they'll do)
- That sounds GREAT ! Umm, does your carpet cleaning get out blood stains?
- Yes sir , it does
- I mean ALOT of blood.. I mean, Ive got a basement room that is pratically COVERED in it ! It might take someone a long time to get all that blood and stuff up, will that change the price any?
- (nervously) Im not sure sir, we might need to send someone out to look at it first
- (franticly) Why do they need to look at it?

Ive been so much happier since I got a call screening service. Any number coming in from a group line, or one that is displayed as unlisted goes through an answering service for approval. Ive gone down from gettign 5 telemarketer calls an evening to maybe 1 a week now tops.
