    Man Gets Ultimate Telemarketer Revenge
    It's one thing to sign up for the national "Do Not Call" list as a way to proactively beat the telemarketers. It's quite another to act out just about everyone's fantasy: Get real revenge on a telemarketer. That's exactly what our hero, Marc Plaisted of Duluth, Minn., did.

    Even though he was listed on the Minnesota state "Do Not Call" list and even though he asked Minnesota Auto Glass to stop calling him, the company's telemarketers continued to do so--up to three times a day. Plaisted became so exasperated by the never-ending calls asking him if he had a crack in his car windshield that he took matters into his own hands. He called Minnesota Auto Glass--more than 100 times in two days. "I just called them every five minutes and let them know that, no, I don't have a crack in my windshield, because this seems to be something they are very concerned about," Plaisted told The Associated Press.

    "I'm following the law and asking them to be taken off the list, and they ignore me and then, on top of it, start swearing at me," he explained to AP. "That was where they flipped the switch with me, and I said, 'Enough is enough. I'm going after you guys now.'" It worked. A manager with Minnesota Auto Glass confirmed that Plaisted's number has been removed from their list.
