Is there a special place in hell for people who hang up on telemarketers for Deseret Book? Because if there is, I'm there.
Because he was from Deseret Book, I let him talk about 1 and a half minutes longer than I would have anyone else. Even after my night shift when I was attempting to drift off to sleep.
After about 30 seconds of the schpeal, I'm like, "Stop reading the script to me, and tell me what you're doing."
"Huh?" he says
"Never mind. Go."
"So then you could buy x number of movies, blah blah blah..."
"No thanks."
"Or just one."
"No thank you."
"Or you could just..."
CLICK.
Sorry dude. I need my sleep. I don't care who you work for.

From what I understand telemarketers are not allowed to hang up...YOU MUST hang up on them to end the conversation. Or order I guess...but I don't know ANYONE who has ordered from a telemarketer.
I wonder if there is "a special place in hell" for people who lie to the Red Cross tele-can-you-come-donate-blood-askers? Because yes, I did.
Hahaha. I don't even let them talk. I'm the worst. "Hello, I'm with the Friends of MS..." CLICK. I'm friendly to all people I know who have MS. I'd be happy to bring them a meal, or share an afternoon with them. I am NOT interested in talking to someone I don't/will never know who is going to beg for money. I think we're all headed to that bad place...
Well if there is such a place I will most likely be sitting on the stand leading the meeting. I agree with Maria that why bother ever listening, wasting their time and mine. I ain't buying no matter what they are selling. No sir, that dog is not going to hunt. Guess I have solidified my place in telemarketers hell.
Oh, that will be a very big area in hell, I'm sure. Do survey people count as telemarketers? Because if so, my family is totally pro at having them hang up on us. We're just too weird I suppose. (One time it was a survey on birth control, I happened to be the one answering the questions. She was basically blown out of the water when I said I wasn't sexually active and I was 19. Wow. What a shocker. The other time it was a survey on TV viewing, that was when we had the 4 inch TV. Haha...)
Was it Feature Films for Families? Because they actually have the unmitigated gall to put on a recording that SOUNDS and RESPONDS like a real person until you ask it two or three times if it is, in fact, a recording before they will admit to it. They called back a month later and had changed it so that when I asked they said "no" a couple of times and then I said "fine, what's your favorite color" and got a "sounds like its not a good time for you, I'll call back later" recording. Blah blah. I am nice till they stop taking no for an answer. Then I tell them thanks anyway, I said no, I'm hanging up. CLICK. I think you'll be okay...chances are it was a recording anyway...you can't go to hell for hanging up on a recording.
