The telephone equivalent of spam.
The worst kind of salesman in the universe.
Traits: Officious, sometimes bullshittingly "polite" pricks who will recall your number over and over when they aren't scamming other random phone numbers.
How to deal with them: Shoot em up! ...er, i meant
How to really deal with them: Whenever one of these calls you, immediately i.d. which category it falls into:
Survey
Unwanted service
Donation scam
Subcription for 40 months of shitty magazines you dont need
Now the fun part. Keep acting like youre interested in whatever theyre offering. Thank them for every last excruciating detail they throw at you at hyper-machine gun speed so they have trouble concentrating trying to sucker you into their shit. Prolong everything. Ask questions about everything they say (be sure to sound as happy as can be, and as interested as a masochist in hell). Then, when the inevitable closing deal part of the conversation comes, your choices are:
Hang-up
"Fuck youz" + Hang-up
"Go fuck yourself"
"Get a real job"
"U r SuxOr"
"-random soundeffect-"
"i did your mom"
Be creative. Let your imagination take over in getting back at these asses. Peace`=)

a human being trying actually pay their bills just like the rest of you except they probably hate their jobs as telemarkets more than you hate them.

A person who sits on the phones and badgers the hell out of people to either donate to the police or sign up for a credit card. Yet, the telemarketer gets a huge kick out of people who cuss and scream at them and ask to be taken off the list.

1. A person or robot you receive in a commercial call.
2. One of those times its O.K. to feel like you wanna kill someone.
3. Makes you wish you had Caller ID or even a Telezapper.

Those fuckers who call you asking you to buy shit. They constantly call you telling you things like "please don't hang up the phone", "I'm calling you up on an item we sent you in the mail", "Hey would you like a subscription to <insert newspaper/magazine>".
These lovely individuals. are usually payed high, but work on commission, so they have to be good at what they do.

A person with the shittiest job on the planet. Some make decent money, some make nothing, all are annoying as hell. Buy stuff from them so they can afford a happy meal.
I can't make commission because no one likes telemarketers. So quit being a jerk and buy whatever it is I'm selling, then cancel after we hang up.
