(...) My favorite one has to be 'Tell me if this sounds like a phone hanging up.' *click* And another one I like is: Them: 'Is this David Courtney' (which when I answer, it isn't) Me: 'As far as you're concerned, this is. No, we're not interested.' (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Maybe. Coins leave your hands smelling funny, though, unless they are not made of base metal. Why they're made of base metal and whether they should be, I will put a pin in, as that's a topic for .debate, not .fun... However, I'll stack my CTA (...)

(...) Nope. IT NEVER GOES UP THE CHAIN. The poor telemarketer is working for some schlock company hired to do the actual calls, not the company they say they're calling for. Furthermore, the phone number list is given to (rather than collected by) (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Wow, you're nice. As soon as I can detect a telemarketer, I say, "No thanks," and it's doubtful they even hear me say the end of the word "thanks" because the phone is probably already back down[1]. I do that no matter how many times they (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) But I FULLY ADVOCATE being mean to telemarketers. Abuse them until they quit. obdisclaimer: I've worked for two telemarketing firms. What a horrible, evil, soul-destroying job. When you help a telemarketer quit, you're doing them a favor. (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

After the compulsory wailing-and-gnashing-of-teeth that occured when the Loonie (and later the Toonie) were introduced in Canada, things settled down and they became accepted by most, and liked by many.
