There is an important difference between most of the cold callers and the religious ones and that is that it is personal: the evangelists that will knock on your door are there because they have decided you need "saving". They have judged you (in your absence) and found you wanting. The arrogance is beyond belief ..

I'd like you to repeat that exercise but working for an TPS ignoring offshore company that rings people more than once a day, using pre-recorded messages selling insurance, etc. or that have foreign call centres employing staff who you find hard to understand what they are saying plus they are ringing you during antisocial hours using telephone lines where the number is withheld so you cannot ring back and complain.
Then ask if they like you ...
