Having recently been given the task of contending with a irrate telesales moron; I’ve had this wicked and thoroughly unkind idea, so cruel it put a cheeky smile on my face.
Premise:

1. Cold caller rings about… say windows.
2. Attempt to be interested and invite them round to show you samples and to leg hump you about how much you need their windows
3. Totally miss their appointment.
4. On their, follow up call apologise and continue to sound interested.
5. Book another appointment.
6. Miss it!
7. If you’re lucky enough to receive another follow up call, explain to them that; they should not waste your time by making you answer a call for something you are not interested in… and that it is incredibly rude to encroach on someone’s time in the privacy of their home, as a result of this injustice you’ve repaid the same insult onto them.

Wasting your private time costs you nothing, wasting their time costs them man hours. If they have them to throw away let them do so. I am not anti-capitalist, I am only really interested in what is ethical when it comes to commerce… if they wish to be rude… prove to them that you can be ruder!
