What to do with Telemarketers

One of my pet peeves is people calling my house and telling lies over the phone in the interest of "telemarketing" some product to me. Well this is a funny audio clip of someone who decided to fight back against the telemarketers lies:

Telemarketers are the reason I'm so grateful for caller ID. I never deal with them any more, because I do not answer the phone if the caller is unidentified or has a weird area code.

My husband, however, loves to get on the phone and berate them.

I can't do that. I held too many part time market research jobs in college and would rather just not answer. I can't be rude to some poor college kid on the other end who hates making the calls in the first place (I know. I'm projecting.)

Donna, I know what you mean. I rarely answer the house phone. If I do happen to answer it, I am always polite to telemarketers because I do feel for the poor guys who are just trying to earn a living. However I despise the fact that they almost always have a "big fat claim" that is a lie.
