For Ben
Because (as you may find out from this meme) Ben was a telemarketer in a former life.
The telemarketing counterscript, or how to screw with telemarketers.

Oops, sorry. I hung up on that post. Can't let it waste my time, ya know?
Yeah, the telemarketing job blew ass, but it was slightly more dignified than fast food. The best experience I got from that job was how to mess with today's telemarketers.
Well no, actually I often hang up before they even talk. Many telemarketers have that 4 or 5 second pause at the start of a phone call. If I say "hello" and don't get a espons afte a few seconds, I hang up. I have better things to do, like watch paint dry.
