Telemarketers, three strikes and you’re out

• If I answer my office line and am met with three seconds of silence before someone speaks: strike one.
• If you then mispronounce my name: strike two.
• If you insist on telling me about that special offer you are not trying to sell me for only $19.95/month, after I state politely that I am not interested: strike three.

I fucking hate telemarketers calling my office line. I hate them, period. Do yourself a favour and get on the Do Not Call list in  Canada or the US.
