if anyone has skills in electronics.....I'd like to be able to add a line-in jack (tied in to the mic) to a cheap landline phone so I can pump some face-melting death metal whenever they call (especially if it's political)
...that or the highest audible frequency that the phone would be able to handle....I wonder if you could blow out a speaker by trying to play such a high/low frequency?

Do Not Call works well enough that I just hang up on the rare ones that do get through.

If I had more time I'd like to be a profoundly deaf and stupid person who wants to make a huge campaign contribution by credit card over the phone to the political ones who disturb me at home.
i used to be a telemarketer. i wasn't good at it. and i didn't want to be one. but i needed a job
i lasted almost a whole week there
(i was still in my teens, i think)

Got a call today, someone looking to get me to come into an interview to work there at some insurance place. Very vague about the job, even when asked. If they would just come out and say they want me to come to work for them selling insurance, and here's why working for them would be great. I'd at least have respect for them.

Those handcrank telephones were good for the muscle tone though.
mcb: "operator, connect me to ganda please" operator: "would that be ganda in kensington or daltry?" mcb: "daltry please" operator: "ok, that will be skylar 867-4912. connecting...mr cowbell, mr ganda has requested that you respectfully piss off" mcb: "i shall do so directly"

A month or so ago, I went to a lecture by a voice actress who had a very high pitched, young-sounding voice. She says she LOVES it when telemarketers call.
Telemarketer: "Hello, could I talk to your mother?" VA: "She's sleeping. And she won't wake up." Telemarketer: "Um...." VA: "And she's starting to smell funny and I'M HUNGRY and she WON'T WAKE UP...WAAAAAAH!!"
She did say that one patiently and calmly tried to get her to call 911, at least.

well...randomly screaming bloody murder into the phone and hanging up on them hasn't had the desired effect sometimes
I'd rather they be the ones having to hang up from listening to the Numa Numa song too many times

I used to be polite to telemarketers since I know they're only doing their job. But after I started getting unlimited calls from these people, I realized I don't have the obligation to put up with them. And I figured, I can't be mad every time they call. So I guess, pranks are always better options than getting angry. Besides, I get a lot of prank tips from http://www.callercenter.com/articles/14waystoannoytelemarketers.... They're just funny.

no no no, it's past the point of any one doing their job (mostly machines)...I don't need a cable subscription, new CC, or have a "relevant" political opinion....especially after already expressing they need to stop calling the ******* phone

Some day I have to hook a phone up to the house line we got with the bundle. Maybe after the elections.
