Comment Strange telemarketing calls. (Score 1) 586
I put my phone number on both the Massachusetts and Federal DNC lists, and since then I've gotten exactly one unwanted call (okay, besides the ones from my senile grandmother):
Me: "Hello?"
Him: "Yes, you indicated your interest about in July, and provided this phone number. Are you still interested?"
Me: "Uh, no."
Him: "Oh, sorry. Thank you for your time." .
I was quite confused about this for the rest of the day. But it was the politest telemarketer I'd ever met.
My other favorite was the salesperson who called me my first week of college, and asked if I had a visa or mastercard. When I answered no, she asked if I had any sort of credit card at all. After I said no, she said "Uhm... thanks" and hung up.
