I hold nothing against telemarketers. The legit ones are simply doing an honest job, and it's a job I'd truly hate. It can't be easy.
I normally screen most of the calls. (I work from home.) But sometimes they get through.
I'm generally polite and will be straight with them, telling them I'm not interested/no need, or whatever. I don't feel the need to be a dick about it. I'm sure they get enough of that with many of their other calls.
