THE DAY I TOLD A TELEMARKETER OFF
So, I am taking care of my dad prior to his death and am staying at his house. I check the phone ID for any calls I may have missed and I see a number that is obviously a telemarketer. I have found that if I let them know that I am on a Do Not Call list (DNC) after a while I don't get anymore calls. He was getting about 10 a day and after about 2 weeks almost none. So I call this number back and a nice older lady answers and I proceed to go into my story that I have this 91 year-old father and about how sick and tired we are getting all these telemarketing calls and that I'm on a DNC list and that I can sue her company and by hell I better not receive another call from her again. As I am launching off and my voice is getting louder and louder and higher and higher she tries to butt in but I don't let her and after I'm hitting my highest note and screaming the loudest I say, "Let me make myself clear, Do not call here anymore," I hear this voice say meakly, "OK." and I hang up. Well I look at the number I just called and I notice that I dialed 801 instead of the actual number of 800, blah, blah, blah. So I had just called some lady like my 91 year-old mother-in-law and really gave her a dressing down. Well one thing is for sure. I've never gotten a call from her since.
