Lately, I've been receiving more calls from telemarketers. Although I registered for the Do Not Call list some years ago, I guess it must be time to re-register. I've been thinking about how to handle frequent calls from these people who are just doing their jobs. Should I hang up on them while they're in mid-speech? Should I listen to the entire speech, and then decline politely? Should I accept most or all of these requests for the good causes? Well, I know I'm not going to respond to all the causes; I can't afford to do that. But, I don't like to be rude to the telemarketer person. I often say, "No, thanks", and hang up before a conversation can start. I do hang up on the computer-generated voice telemarketers, because they're not humans. This week, I'll look for and call the Do Not Call registry again. How do you handle these calls?
Smiles,
Sylvia
