1-866-HATRED

866-209-6227. Memorize it if you have to. This is an awful phone number. I get at least one call from this number everyday. During Preston's nap time usually. They are Discover Card. They want to sell me fraud insurance for my credit card or something like that. Not interested. DEFINITELY not interested. If I was, I would call THEM!! I am on the National Do Not Call List...I have called these Discover Card fraud obsessing people and have been placed on THEIR do not call list, which could take 30 days to process? during which time I could still receive calls. And I have been.

Well, today they called again...and I did not answer it of course. Caller I.D. is a wonderful thing. But, tomorrow...I'm ready for them. I'm going to answer the phone and say, "Pizza Hut, may I take your order please?" If they stutter or say, what? I'll respond with "Would you like to order one of our special large hamburger pizzas for only $8.99?" This charade will continue (I hope) until they decide it is best to stop calling my pizza place.:) 

Wow, I feel better now. I also just found an amusing article online that may help stimulate your creative juices if anyone else has trouble with persistent, annoying telemarketers. Some of the good ideas I found include: repeatedly asking for Bill throughout the duration of the telemarketing call and also to pretend that you have taken hostages and proceeding to list your demands. I'm not wanting to go to jail though, so I think I'll stick with the pizza plan...for now.
