Today is Remembrance Day and I like to spend it alone with my thoughts, no distract by the crowds. So I an watching the National Ceremony on TV. Darn doesn't the phone ring and the answering machine picks up a telemarketing speel. Once done I sent a complaint to the company asking they consider a policy of no calling from 10 till noon on remembrance day. Tjis is a rant but maybe some of you could spread the word around and maybe we could embarass the companies to start resepecting this day of remembrance |

Telemarketers are not respectable. Therefore they won't get your point. Might I suggest you invest in a whistle? |

A pox on telemarketers, Frank! |

I'd rather they never call. |

They need to pass a law that we have to opt in, to permit them to call. And, no blackmail, of you must agree to opt in to receive our services clauses are permitted. Violation of the law is punishable by a $1,000 USD fine for the first offense, and $5,000 USD for any subsequent ones. |

They need to pass a law… Yea, just what we need, another law. |

Our office holds a two minute silence at 11; some chump rings in bang on the dot. No respect but there's always one every year |

Just adding to the rant here: Why must we use Remembrance Day/Veterans Day or Memorial Day in the US as an excuse for shopping and discounts!?! We should pause from our consumer societies for one day to remember the chaps that gave their lives so that the rest of us are free to have the latest gadget, coat or car. |

Any time a telemarketer calls I wait for the life rep. I tell them that I am very interested but I have to shut off the stove first I put the phone down and come back in about15 minutes to see if they are still there Most are long gone but if someone had hung on I tell them I am too busy to talk and hang up |
