:yes:

i so wish they would stop calling, no matter how many times you tell them not to call, somebody else does... andthe telemarketers know that most people arent going to report them, so they keep pounding away hoping one day i might buy something...

Generally, I really do try to be polite but when these jackasses from the newspaper call early in the morning and wake me up on the weekends, I flip out. Can't they tell that I am sleeping?

just think of it this way...we have to wake up just as early if not earlier to go into work and call people...it sucks more for us.
all you have to do is hang up the phone but we have to keep calling.
