Parcelan, if that story had nothing to do with me, then I apologize (once again) for anything I've ever said to you. Maybe I wont recieve such hostility from you in the future.

Zaza, I dont know you. I honestly have no idea who you are, but I do find your post amusing.

And Snoota, I actually like you. You're a cool guy.

I think I'll lurk from now on as I seem to only recieve negative responses when I post.

While some people are rude or impolite cause they think its cool, I don't think thats the only reason. I mean I know I'm impolite to telemarketers. For awhile I used to fuck with them now its become to much of a waste of time and I find it easier just to hang up on them before they get a chance to talk. The reason I started doing it to them was a hope of getting my point across that I didn't want them to call or talk to me. Some just seem to think that rather then being polite its more effective to be an ass hat.
I don't discriminate...I hate everyone.

People try that with me at work all the time. They'll call screaming and cursing because their order was messed up, and I just hang up on them. Then on the rare occasion they actually come back to the store after I've hung up on them and scream and curse there, I inform them that they're tresspassing on private property and if they won't leave right now the police will be here to remove them within five minutes.(One time, I had a lady call the police on me when I kicked her out because I was violating her rights. The phone call with the 911, which she naturally called because it was an emergency, dispatcher lasted like ten seconds.)

I don't know what makes people think they have the right to act like that. And worst of all, it's always the adults that should know better. I've never been yelled at by anyone under the age of 20.(Maybe I just scare them. )

Since when is hanging up on a telemarketer impolite? You don't owe them the time of day.

I dunno, you remind me of Cameron Diaz's brother in Something About Mary. ;D
