No means No, asshats
Dear TruGreen ChemLawn,
I've told you twice to stop calling; take me off the call list; put me on the do not call list. I have ignored your incessant daily calls that have shown up on caller ID for over a week now. Apparently I have yet to perform the secret magic action that gets you to stop harrassing me (I have the feeling that there isn't one, though, short of legal action). If my daughter had not picked up the phone before I could say "no, it's those asshats again", I would not have had to tell you a third time, and before you could even open your damn mouth to read your sales pitch to me.
Is this your idea of marketing? Seriously, get a fucking clue.
Even if I wanted someone to dump that shit on my lawn, you have absofuckingloutely guaranteed that it would not be you, ever, who does it. Which is a damn good thing, because apparently this kind of crap is representative of just your lesser offenses. I mean, really! In a Google search, the second site result for TruGreen ChemLawn and the third site result for TruGreen ChemLawn do a pretty good job of exposing just what an all-around shit company you are.
Given that, pissing someone off over a silly thing like rabid marketing calls is a pretty dumb thing to do, doncha think? You don't really want those sites overtaking the top spot on Google in a search for TruGreen ChemLawn now, do you?
for the NNAF

Are you on the federal do not call list? If so, and maybe even if not, you can report them for continuing to call. Sorry, I can't remember who you report them to...but it would be another way to get them in trouble.
Calling like that is harrassment. Bastards.
You know, I am! I let them get me so pissed that I didn't even think of that.
Sometimes it slips my mind as I still get tons of non-profit calls that aren't that different. I'm starting to resent that they can't be on the list, too. There is one that is especially good at not listening - and you know how the guilt crops up at saying to to a cause - but I still resent it because I say no and it's like, OMG but don't you agree that ___? And sometimes I say that's not the issue, the issue is I'm picky about who/how I contribute and contribution via unsolicited call is not one of them.
But next time, hell even if it IS a police fund and that right there makes me feel more intimidated, I may add that it's not a great tactic for espceially THEM to take, besides the fact that whoever is calling is probably some call bank collecting more of the donations from their fees than is going to the cause they are calling for.
Okay, arrgh. Just thinking this through.
Bwahaaa! A warning, though. At 3 yrs it's cute. By the time they're 10 yrs they start harrassing the kid for "screening".
