If a Canadian telemarketer calls you, you ask to be added to a no-call list for the company. I did it successfully last week and they were very polite about it.

I just got an automated call saying I had won a trip. "To claim your prize, press '9'" so I did and waited.

When someone finally answered, I said, "I want to be added to your no-call list."

Pause. New person comes on, "Hello?" New Jersey accent, I think.

"Hello, I want to be added to your no-call list."

"Well, how about I add you to a national list so you can receive more calls from more companies."

"What?"

"I'll add you to a national call list and that will work out better for you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Why don't you clean your fucking ears? I'm gonna add you to a list and you'll get calls all the fucking time! How do you like that?"

I hung up.

Charming.

I hope that guy's call was recorded and he gets his stupid ass fired. Jackass.
