Thread Name: How Do You Handle Telemarketers?
Subject: RE: How Do You Handle Telemarketers?
I'm one of those who says something like "I'm not interested, I never buy things over the phone." Then again I don't get dozen a night, I don't know what I'd do then. You have my sympathy Deckman, you don't have the option of turning the thing off either.

There was something on the news about 6 months ago about a man who had been one of the people on the phone who got a lot of abuse and hated it. He wanted to do an art project where he would call people up at random and insult them as he had been insulted. I don't know if he got the funding for it.

I figure if our provincial government can make laws to try and outlaw squeegee kids they can outlaw telemarketing as well.
