I worked for ages as a telemarketer. People can be such jerks and it seems like telemarketers are the sanctioned punching bags of a highly stressed population. My friend Raven is one of the most imaginative telemarketer haters I know. He has it down to a fine art and can keep the poor saps on the other end of the phone hanging on for up to an hour, certain he's going to buy something as soon as he answers the door, gets the other phone, takes the burning dinner out of the oven or talks to the policeman about that horrible murder next door. I hate that. Can't he just say "Sorry, not interested" and hang up? Yes, he's annoyed but if it didn't work as a strategy the companies wouldn't hire people to do it. Don't take it out on the employee. Telemarketers are people too.
This design comes on shirts, clocks, buttons, a mousepad - all the essential office supplies. If your friend just got a job as a telemarketer, the cards on the inside say "Congratulations on Your New Job!".
Is your profession hated? Want a shirt that tells people to get off your back? Leave a comment and I'll work something up!

I feel the exact same way. I get annoyed when they call me but they are just trying to live their lives and, unfortunately, in this day and age you need to have cash to do that. Bravo for pointing it out :)
