telemarketer caroling 

the act of answering your phone when a telemarker calls you and then proceeding to sing Christmas songs to them until they hang up.
Alright! The telemarketer from last week has decided to call once again. Time for some telemarketer caroling.

telemarketers 

A telemarketer is basically a technology-equipped street hawker who rings you incessantly and tries to turn your own private home into a market bazaar, just in case you don't find the constant spruiking of products and services in junk mail, on radio programs, TV commercials and late-night infomercials annoying enough.

It ranks just above being a wheel-clamper, a parking inspector and a pimp, but trumps all with its persistence and invasiveness.

It's one of the few jobs which give a chance for hermits who never leave the house to experience the joys of being incessantly harassed in their own home.

It is a very unprofessional and disrespectful way to market products and it reeks of desperation. Attempting to get people to agree to complex deals over the phone and not giving them time to compare the deal with the competition or any current deals they have, is a scummy way of doing business.

The lack of respect inherent in the job is demonstrated by corporates themselves who outsource their telemarketing to places like India to keep their marketing costs down.

Get call-barring if you can, or ditch your landline for a mobile. These are the only ways to stop these people. You can abuse them all you like, make all the requests to them to stop ringing and they will always ignore you.

The epitome of corporate arrogance and unprofessionality.
The Zombie Holocaust will not be televised: it is already being brought to you in person four or more times a day by Indian telemarketers.

Telemarketing 

Noun. Also known as telescams and cold calls. When a salesperson calls you unexpectantly and offers you something you don't want or need, such as double glazing.

In the US and Australia, telemarketing is restricted and policed. In the UK, it is less controlled, because otherwise it would clash with the free speech laws.

Telemarketing is the bain of most houseowners' existences, and will guarentee you a place in Hades if you ever get a job in a telemarketing company.
"God, I only asked my girlfriend to sell her body for money, it's not like I asked her to go into telemarketing!" - Jeremy (Robert Webb), Peep Show
She's the best person you'll ever met.
She's caring, sweet, a little bestie to take care of.
Such a cutie.
She thinks of herself a normal girl like all the other ones. But she's different.
She'll always be by your side when you need it.
A honest person. She always tells the truth. She can't lie to anyone.
She'll never get into a fight, hurt someone, neither hurt someone's feelings.
She'll always comfort you.
She'll never let you go.
She'll never leave you.
Such a wonderful person.
I'm not lying.
Telma is my bestie, my cousin and my confident.
And I love her.
She thinks she's fat, but she's more like a model!
You can talk with her for hours and never get bored.
God, she's an angel.
She's my angel.
She thinks her crush will never love her.
Her crush is idiot.
He has an angel and even wants more!?
What a disgrace.
She'll find her soulmate soon.
I know it.
But David's not her soulmate.
That's very clear.
If you ever meet a Telma, never let her go.
She'll change your life like anyone did.
She deserves the best.
And I hope she'll find her own angel.
'Cause she's one.
Wow, she is everything, sweet, cute, honest, beautiful, caring...

Then you found a Telma
Nurturer, Caregiver. Stubborn at times and strong-willed. Likely to hurt one's feelings if unprepared for brutal honesty but well-intentioned and loving. Loves to laugh but because of past hurts may mask her tenderness by putting up a wall. Once you crack her shell she's a kitty cat. Telma's have a wild side as well - get to know one...
