Give us a few months. We'll be able to turn off the teen's car if they are misbehaving. Ring...ring Hello? Dad, my car won't start. I know that...weren't you supposed to be home an hour ago? ummmm I worked late? Oh reaaally? your car is at Suzy Q's house. ummm Dad, would you turn my car back on, I'll be home right away? (Evil laughing as phone is hung up).
I got this response from this post. Mipmipmipmipmipz: Before I worked doing mandatory auto insurance compliance, I was a telemarketer. I think we have rights to! Mipmipmipmipmipz: Long time no talk! LBrown59: True - but your rights end where mine begin. Mipmipmipmipmipz: Is dinner a protected right? Mipmipmipmipmipz: I used to get people cussing me because I called during dinner. Sometimes dinner was at 8 p.m.! Nobody eats that late. Mipmipmipmipmipz: If they rope off dinner, lunch, and breakfast, then we wouldn't be able to call ever, and that's not right. LBrown59: Naw that was an early midnight snack lol Mipmipmipmipmipz: lol Mipmipmipmipmipz: actually I don't like getting the calls myself, which is why I quit that job, but it was tough work Mipmipmipmipmipz: I would call and offer magazines, and one man called me a hoar. Mipmipmipmipmipz: Well bye LBrown59: I know a pastor who had such a job for about a week. he said he had to give it up because his and their ethics weren't compatible. THE END ** *** ** LB 59
