rmDear Telemarketers,
Don't pretend that you know me. Don't, when I ask you if you actually know me (or my roommate) or are a telemarketer, attempt to lie to me. The idea that I'll be more willing to or interested in buying your services or contributing to your cause because your excessive familiarity and fake 20-something speech ("Hey! How you doing?") will make me feel more comfortable or less lonely is rude, appalling and stupid. Also, I am not the bad guy for calling you on your methods. I'm not spoiling your fun, being insensitive or insulting a friend, since I DON'T KNOW YOU.
Wow, not cool.
