Pretty funny telemarketer call I had today...

So the lady calls from my bank and this is how it went;

(I'm going to paraphrase to keep it short)

Lady - Hi this is ______ from Wells Fargo, can I interest you in some life insurance? (wow did I shorten that shit up, she took about 5 minutes getting to that...)

Me - Eh, I don't really think I need any insurance... (all the while thinking, yeah I don't have car insurance, wtf would make you think I would want life insurance...? lmao also smiling and laughing inside my head too)

Lady - Well this is how it works and you can get it then if you don't like it you can just cancel it, it's that easy! (again, I shortened the shit out of that, she took another 5 minutes explaining it, essentially telling me, well who cares if you don't need it, you should get it anyway, then if you still don't need it, you can just cancel it... again, lmfao!)

Me - Uhh...I'd rather not go through the trouble of getting it, then just canceling it, instead of just not getting it... (lmao)

Lady - (bitch continues to go on and on about all the benifits of this shit, another 3 minutes gone) Finally she says, well let me just transfer you over to this machine so it can take down all your information...

Me - OK, transfer me over...

Lady - OK

(tranfer...)

Me - Click... LMFAO!

I unplugged my phone from the wall because I was getting about 5 calls per hour from tele-marketers. Fucking annoying.
And they were all the same people over and over again too.

Yeah...that was hilarious.

Earlier today, I got a telemarketing call at like 3 in the morning. 3 AM in the foquin morning!!! Anyway, the guy sounded a lot like one of those technical support people that you get whenever you call a computer company and get your call transferred to West Bubblefuck. I don't exactly remember what he was saying due to lack of concentration on my part but, I could give a shit less, or at least 3 or 4 less to begin with.

I iddn't even give him the pleasure of transferring me over but, I did manage to shoot a string of "spanglish" swears at the guy before hanging up, turning my phone off and going back to sleep.

Man, wtf is the point of telemarketers, they seriously piss off more people than they help...

I think if I need something I will go out and get it...I don't need someone to call me and ask me if I need it... that shit should be against the law... disturbing the peace or something..

Why don't you just get your name on the "no-call" list?

How do you do that?

There's a website for the "do not call registry". I've had to get my cell phone on that list.
Try here:https://www.donotcall.gov/

Great story though.

The Do Not Call List is a load of fuckin' horse shit. Don't even bother.

Our phone has been signed up to it for quite a while, but we still get multiple calls every other hour, sometimes by the same exact damned companies.
