I used to work as a telemarketer because there was a recession on and that was the only job I could find after months of looking. I was literally a couple weeks away from being homeless, so I wasn't much inclined to care if I was causing hassle. It's legal, there's a market for it, and I need to eat.
If it makes you feel better about yourself to shit on your economic inferiors, you go right ahead. But if you think you're teaching that telemarketer a lesson or somehow punishing them, you're not. They won't even remember you at the end of the day. You are one of 100+ calls that telemarketer has to make every day. And if you don't say the magic words "please take my name off your list", they will call you again next week. So you're really just wasting your own time.

Releasing steam against the telemarketer is legal, there's a reason for it, and it relieves the immediate tension build up. >They won't even remember you at the end of the day. Depends upon spontaneous creativity. I don't have much, so they probably want. But in some ways, even if you don't directly recall the experience, it can still have an impact. If I had not eaten every meal I don't remember anything about, I would be dead right now. >If it makes you feel better about yourself to shit on your economic inferiors, You make it sound like it is because they are economically inferiors is the reason people react negatively and in doing so ignore all the actual reasons people don't like telemarketers. >So you're really just wasting your own time. The telemarketer already did that for me.
