-World peace. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Its to bad no one but whiny christians writes letters to their congressperson anymore. This relaly could be nipped in the bud rather quick.
Also, regarding the airhorn. You're just cutting the tail of off the serpent. - phore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Telemarketing should be illegal, period. We are harassed by ads everywhere we go, why should we also be harassed at the dinner table?

You crack me up. - KdoggMDF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha, ive done the air horn idea. It works, except one person called back and trash talked me about it. It was awesome. :-D
- ajb2015, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so telemarketers can call a bunch of people who clearly don't want to talk to them...It's like advertising to a wall, except walls don't fight back.
- WackyT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's what the airhorn's for. Get them talking their speel, then blast, and hang up.
- ArchAngel21x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It seems that a few special interest groups are lobbying for a loop hole in the do not call list so we can get more solicitations during dinner time. Great. If they ever call my cell phone, there will be hell to pay.

Ha ha I had an almost identical experience. Except I didn't use an air horn I used a really loud stereo pumping some Iron Maiden. Anyhow they called me back to tell me how rude I was to them and then I started ripping into them telling them that it's rude to call while I'm eating and to keep trying to push this crap down my throat even after I've said several times I'm not interested.
Needless to say within a few minutes of my ripping the person apologized and hung up. I never heard from that company again. - coreb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The advantages of living in Louisiana. My Family justs start talking Cajun French when the telemarketers start giving their speel.
- Beanis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The DNC list isn't under attack. It is additional laws in 5 states that are under attack.
- redneckintn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Airhorn? I'll have to remember that if they disolve the DNC list.
- ColdChilli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone heard of Caller ID ? Just don't answer. If you do answer then response "Take me off your list" then HANG UP.
- Singe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The air horn doesn't work like you think. Since you hang up on them, they code your call as a "no thank you." Which means you'll get another call within the next 3-6 months. A loud noise though the phone doesn't get you off of their list. You have to specifically say you want off the list. Take it from someone who has been on the selling end.
- vernsan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Or even while having sex. Its just WRONG!
