On Telemarketers

Me:	When they call, you just say "I'm not interested, thank you" and hang up.
MM:	That's rude.
Me:	No, it's not.
MM:	You don't even give them a chance to speak.
Me:	So?
MM:	What if that was your job?
Me:	Then I'd realize that not everybody wants to be bothered with 15 minute speeches on why you should donate to their organization at eight o'clock at night, in the middle of dinner, bathing your kid, whatever.
MM:	That's still rude.
Me:	What's rude is if I said "no effing thanks you effing eff."
MM's Parents:	(Keel over in laughter)
MM:	Thank you for not using the f-bomb in front of my parents.
Me:	No problem.
