One time a telemarketer for a phone company (not the one we use) told my boyfriend, "You're not interested in free long-distance minutes? Are you stupid?" Yeah, we really want your service after that great sales pitch!
The Do Not Call list has really helped. However, I believe it still allows calls from non-profit groups, telephone surveys, and those companies that are already serving you.
I wish there was a list for door-to-door soliciters. I really don't like strange men coming to my apartment trying to sell me magazines, house cleaners, or redemption. "No soliciting" signs put up by the apartment managers don't help. I just don't open the door now if I don't recognize the person through the peephole.
