I hate telemarketeers. HATE! Three months and already I'm being hassled, dammit! And to make matters worse, this woman completely butchered my last name to the point where I honestly didn't recognise it, and informed her there was no one here by that name, and then she bowled me over with "Oh, that's fine, I can talk to you, too and got halfway through her shpiel before I realised she'd asked for Mr Werkers, thus making it impossible for me to use my "Mr Werkers lives in Belgium" comeback and just hang up on her. And then I realised she made me burn my burger. Bitch.

IN CONCLUSION: If the phone line is in the name of a Ms Werkers, don't call and ask for Mr Werkers, because the normally easy-tempered and nice Ms Werkers will then turn into Ms Bitch. Thank you, drive through.

Without exception, all telemarketers get 'no thank you' and hung up on within seconds.

Why even bother talking to them at all?

I normally don't, especially not when they ask for the man of the house, because HATE, but this one caught me off-guard with the mangling of my name beyond all recognition, so at first I thought she just had a wrong number or something, and then she mumbled so badly it took me a few moments to realise what she was trying to sell.

I'll be polite, and if it's a survey taker I'll usually do it cause hey, I like surveys, but this woman was pushy and annoying as fuck. And did I mention the hate for people asking for the man of the house? Especially cause this was a Tele2 person and she was apparently working from the list of telephone numbers and who they're registered to, and the line? Registered, obviously, in my name! Grrrr! Mr Werkers lives in Belgium, you assholes, and you're free to call him and get yelled at, because Mr Werkers likes telemarketeers even less than I do!

Er, sorry about the rant, there.

I phoned the cable company to activate my cable TV in my new house and I got a Telenet saleswoman on the phone. Pushy as hell. Ever since (a week ago) I've got THREE Telenet spam envelopes at the new address in the name of Ms Verlinden. MY name is Verlinde.
To top it all off, it says that "the customer agrees for their address to be used for commercial purposes". I agree with this do I? Like fuck I do!
This spam irritates me SO much, but I've no clue how to get rid of it.

Call them, seriously. Call them and ask them to take you off their mailing list. They have to do this immediately or they can face serious fines.
