Re: FF - Telemarketing--Plea for Forbearance



I can't lurk any longer.  My daughter's father-in-law has a rather comical
way of dealing with telemarketers.  When he answers the phone, he says "My
wife makes all those decisions.  I'll see if I can wake her up.  She has
been drinking and is passed out on the sofa."  The telemarketer usually
tells him not to bother or hangs up.  Unfortunately, my wife will not let me
use that approach.

Well said, Paul.

Although, I get especially annoyed when "these people" hang up when my
children
answer the phone.....  Hey, that's an idea, have the children answer the
phone
all the time!

Personally, I rely on caller ID  to filter unwanted calls.
