I'm not supposed to have calls from telemarketers. I am registered on the do not call list and I pay $5.00 a month to prevent unidentified callers from getting through. I have still gotten calls from Verizon trying to "improve" my service. I also have gotten calls from the Bush people (but these get through because they are identified). These are usually recorded messages so all I can do is hang up. ---MIKE--- Verizon is the worst!!!! I have DSL service through Verizon and I've had it for almost 5 years. I still get calls about 4 times per week from them wanting me to get DSL. I have told them over and over very nicely and now VERY rudely that I already have their DSL. I have talked to supervisors and the idiots still call me. Well 2 weeks ago I did get a few more calling features on my line. One of them is a phone number blocking service. Well guess who made it to be #1 on my list? Yup, you win, Verizon. I haven't had a call from the idiots in 2 weeks. Thanks for letting me vent. I get so bent out of shape anytime I have to deal with the idiots at Verizon. And now I have to call them to correct my phone bill. I have had their 5 cent long distance plan for months. But this month they charged me 25 cents a minute for long distance calls. This company is really amazing at how they find new ways to screw up. Bob |

If a telemarketer opens with that annoying and insincere introductory
question, "How are you today?" I immediately go into a long list of my ailments, real and imagined. If I do this rapidly enough, he or she can't interrupt. At the end I conclude with, "And, how are YOU today?" They usually say "Fine" and quickly launch into their offer, which I then politely refuse. I guess if this accomplishes anything, it's perhaps to make them think twice about using that hackneyed phrase again! The political telemarketers annoy me worse than the ones selling something. Yesterday, one called and wanted to give me a website. I said Just a minute, let me get a pencil. I admit I dawdled a bit, but when I got back, she said, "What did you have to do, go find a crayon?" Sheesh. Sherry |
