Telemarketers

I know everybody hates getting the phone call while you're right in the middle of something, especially when it's a telemarketer. I, like many, subscribe to the national "do not call list", but apparently that's for the telemarketers to call you and find out if you were directing your unhospitableness towards them, and while they have you as their captive audience, slip in a sales pitch. I'm no different. I hate being bothered while in the middle of something (especially the rare time allotted for a nap), to take a phone call for some insurance to cover the insured small amount of money I have in the bank, or to donate to the deputy sheriff's college education fund for their children, when my children are probably going to have to pay for a lot of their own post education themselves. But, while you have me on the phone, and you're going to give me your best line, and segway into my billing information without actually asking whether this is something I would be interested in, or could use, I'm going to play along to waste your time since you're wasting mine. Eye for an eye. I'm going to try to get your product for free for life, or, since I can't afford whatever crap your pitching, I'm going to try to get you to donate to my cause. I'm sure the US government would be a little upset because I gave my hard earned tax money to something frivolous. So I can accept donations towards my annual tax burden if they would like to make that payment at this time. I do accept credit cards. Instead of donating to the presidential campaign, maybe they could help me campaign for the small amount of money I need to purchase school books for my children. Since we homeschool, it all comes out of my pocket, plus I get the benefit of NOT being able to take a deduction on my taxes. So if you call me because you're interested in my little amount of money, rather than me personally, be prepared to be harassed for a donation or 3 easy payments, whichever you prefer. I'll even put you on my email list and give you current updates on my lifestyle and progress I'm making. I'll even call while you're just sitting down for dinner if you like?
