    Telephone Preference Service. http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/what/

    I worked for a timeshare company who did cold-calling. We had them after us all the time. We moved office twice and changed our name from Global Marketing to Capricorn Marketing then to Gemini Marketing

    Just tell them you are on TPS anyway even if you haven't registered, usually they just delete your name off the list.

    These ****ers are the ropiest bunch of money-hungry evil bastards to walk the Earth. I went for an interview for a company selling tools and building equipment to contractors over the phone. I actually told the woman half-way through the interview "This job isn't for me, I don't want to end up like any of the people in here"

    It was horrible, loads of depressed grey people arguing with annoyed builders and plumbers about the price of a 1000 screws.

    i phoned them back and spoke to some bint. she was either Welsh or Indian i couldn't understand a word she said. Had a nice long rant that went a little something like this.

    "take my number from your directory"

    "do you not care why we called?"

    "no"

    "is that Mr Douglas ***?"

    "yes dont phone me again"

    "do you not care why we called?"

    "will you listen? take my number off your list."

    "do you want to know why we called you?

    "I couldn't give a **** why you phoned if you don't care enough to bother your arse speaking then why should i give a flying **** about what a high school drop out from **** knows where wants when they phone me and hang up. **** off and don't phone me again."

    The guys in the office thought this was hilarious and told me i really shouldn't have sweared as much but **** it i love a good rant.

    Be really racist & offensive, even if you think they're not based in India they get really pissed off, even more so.

    I used to get calls from some company based in Liverpool, after telling them a few times I wasn't interested & hanging up I started getting really offensive

    "Hi Mr Brum I'm Sandra from Windows R Us............"

    "Listen you Indian **** I don't want no pissing windows"

    "We're from St Helens not India!"

    "Oh **** off & eat some cat food you smelly ****. Sandra <laugh> bet its Sanjita really"

    "No it is Sandra & I'm from St Helens not India"

    "Listen Sanjita I don't want no windows, how about you put the phone down, delete my number & pick an elephant out of the brouchure for your upcoming marriage to your cousin you sick bastard........"

    Phone goes dead.

    No more calls from window company from St Helens.

    I thought it was funny as ****, knew the mrs wouldn't approve mind.........she then mentions how weird in the credit crunch that companies aren't busting a gut for work. WTF?

    She'd only gone online & registered with some window companies to get quotes <laugh>

    <laugh> Brum your getting a sky high quote from windows R us.

    Wizgub it was revenge for me telling her i enroled her in an internet jew cult called the brothers of abraham.

    I made an email address and sent her emails about how if she sends money she could advance towards spiritual enlightenment and how the Christian government
    in this country are persecuting the jews because they killed jesus and urged her to join the revolt. she thought i was serious and tried to sellmy car on ebay. luckily no one wants a p reg fiat. when that back fired she gave my number to telemarketers and debt consolidation services.

    Last time I was called I was pretending to be dead interested and kept her on the line for a good 10 minutes, then told her I was in South Africa (wasn't really) and asked her how much did she think it would have cost them, and told her I was only trying to run her bill up <laugh> Never been bothered since that <laugh> She was ****ing raging
