I never get cold calls, but Charter used to call me every week asking why I have internet through them but not TV. I was a dumbass and thought "I don't want TV" would be an acceptable answer, so they kept calling for about a month. Eventually a guy came to my house to pitch in person, which was not very cool. I called to cancel but ended up with cheaper internet and a promise never to bother me about TV again, which they kept. I could smell desperation through the whole thing. Getting people to pay $60 more a month for TV when Netflix and stuff exists is getting to be a pretty tough sell.

Soylent Yellow posted:A while back, I was bombarded with calls from a call centre running the microsoft scam. For a while, I simply ignored them. Eventually, I decided to retalliate. "I'm sorry, but the computer belongs to my brother. Hold on while I get him". I then plugged my headphones into my computer, made a telephone receiver sandwich with the two earpieces (helpfully folding the headset microphone into the middle for maximum feedback), found the loudest death-metal track possible on youtube, turned the volume to ten, then hit 'play'. Somewhere in India, somebody is quite possibly suffering from permanent hearing loss. They never called again. I can never tell if these are serious or if people really think phones work this way
