Telemarketers Make Rudeness OK
I'm a courteous and polite person. Because of this, I have a hard time just cutting off a telemarketer or hanging up on them when they call at (usually) inconvenient times. But many of them seem to make it impossible to be courteous and polite.
They call you and go immediately into their spiel about whatever product or service they want you to sign up for. Your only recourse is to rudely interrupt them with a string of "No's" or hang up without even a word. Both options conflict with my own sensibilities.
I understand that the job is to get the pitch out no matter what. But why do I have to be rude just so that I can get on with my life? Can't I just say "No, thank you" and be done with it? Why does rudeness have to be answered with more rudeness?
