How do you respond to telemarketers?

I've been receiving calls from a company who want me to change energy service providers. My word they're persistent!! At first I was polite. But as time wears on I'm finding myself becoming downright rude. They won't let up! I've told them I've reported the company as a nuisance caller.
As I asked: how do you cope with telemarketers??

I tend to tell them I'm not interested and if they are persistent I lose my temper.

@SW-User There's this one woman who talks really loudly and tells me "You must listen to me and co-operate!". 😂

SW-User

@Cavedweller they can't do that!! They need to respect you.☺

@SW-User She's so incredibly loud..

SW-User

@Cavedweller heck, you should ask to speak to her supervisor.

I've usually hung up when she does her "you must co-operate" spiel.

SW-User

@Cavedweller do they still offer the do not call list?

@SW-User Might need to investigate that.

@Cavedweller do they call on your home phone or cell phone?

@Cavedweller same here, I don't think they have a do not call list for cell phones. They clone numbers and everything else. I get crap calls constantly. We're in the same boat my friend!!😂

@SW-User The same lost and leaky boat! Here thar be dragons!

SW-User

@Cavedweller better bring the bazooka then!!😂

@SW-User I like the way you think. 😉

SW-User

@Cavedweller are there hobbits too??

SW-User

@Cavedweller 😊😉

@SW-User I hope so!! They make second breakfasts. For the times that one breakfast isn't enough. And I wonder what's in the pipes they smoke...

SW-User
