    No matter what you all do or say, your going to get called again..it's their job..they do not put your number into the auto dialer, it's auto dialed generated...they have bosses walking around the office listening in on their calls, telling you what to say against these kinds of things. If you do not get the sale, donation, or whatever you get yelled at, after a while they finally let you go becasue you can't make a sale. Telemarketing is a hard job if you care about makng some money. Sometimes this is the only job disabled people or retired people can get. I know it's annoying for people to get these calls but a polite no, works WAY better than all of these tatics...then tell them to take your number out or off their auto dialers...and then register for the dnc (do not call) it's made by the department of agricultural of all places....
    btw---on a side note rude people were always called again..we would always save their number and pass it around the office....hang up and laugh
    freebies are like potato chips....you can't have just one!!

    I do not get ugly with the telemarketers unless they are snotty and refuse to take "NO" for an answer. I tried that gig once... yeah... you'd have to be desperate or a masocist to want to do that for a full time job.

    That's funny. But I think it's quite mean. I mean, if you don't want any telemarketer to call you, just tell them. If they don't hung up, just tell them, "I don't mean to be rude, but I'm hanging up now. Need to do better things. Thanks for the offer [if they're offering something] by the way."

    As soon as I know it's someone soliciting either for a business or charity, I ask them to please take my phone number and information out of their database. No conversation. Most say okay, others just hang up. Had someone call the other day from the Marine Corps Auxiliary, whatever that is and the connection was bad and he and I just could not connect for me to ask him to remove our info from his database. Also, we're Army, not interested in the Marine Corps anyhow, regardless. What I would dearly love is to NOT receive those stupid political recordings!!!!!!!

    That is fun. I would do that from time to time . What I notice that telemarketers do: they are only trying to get the message out there by any means, not sell it to you. So it's like: bla, bla, bla ... can I call again ... no ( and you can almost here a big relief: one down ... I was so afraid I was going to make a sale! )
