Tables Turned on Annoying Telemarketer

With pressures mounting on all sides and media coverage spelling doom and gloom, many Americans are staying home taking what comfort that can, sheltering from the storm. Form some it's a good thing, fuel consumption is down and more people are cooking healthy food at home, but it's not all good news.

More time at home means more time for you to be exposed to one of life's banes, the dreaded telemarketer.
Everyone knows who it is when the call starts, and if you are like me the muscles on the back of your neck begin to tense as you calmly try to remind them you are on the DO NOT CALL LIST.

Comedian Tome Mabe has taken a different approach. Instead of getting mad, he gets even.

This actually makes me angry...not at the telemarketer, but at the prankster. Telemarketers are just trying to earn an honest living. They are probably students trying to work their way throught school. Maybe they are people laid off from jobs that became obsolete. Who knows? But they are people who probably hate what they are doing but aren't so proud to turn down a job for which people have so much disdain in order to pay their bills. With unemployment growing in this country and faced with so much econonic uncertainty and instability, it would be very bad karma to be so arrogant and disrespect any person who is making an honest living and doing what they have to do just to make ends meet.

There are certain jobs you shouldn't take. These people need to learn that.

Trying to make a living in a hostile economy does not justify invading others' houses uninvited and aggressively trying to pitch a product. Prostitutes are trying to make livings too. Rude customers are a part of the telemarketing job. If they don't like it, just quit.
