I guess I'm lucky that I don't get those phone calls. I DO get those "please hold for the next available service rep" ones, and I actually wait to talk to them sometimes, and I ask them why I had to wait for them, when I didn't call. Sometimes, depending on my mood, I can get sorta rude with them (because they're calling my cell phone... and NEVER give that out!), or I get playful and ask them if I can call them at home in the middle of the night and ask them to hold, and I can sing Celine Dion songs to them while they're "holding" for me.
I've actually had one person say, "Yeah, I'm really sorry. I've become the person I've despised - a telemarketer."

How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me;
How can I know so many; never really knowing anyone;
If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood."
