Kelly: Exactly. I get irritated and frustrated by telemarketers...who doesn't? But it's a part of capitalism, albeit a sometimes ugly part. People have options like Caller ID and answering services.
I will say that at what point telemarketers start calling my cellphone, I'll be a bit more aggressive in my attitude, since I have a limited number of total minutes I can use and I have to pay significant fees if I go over.

Carter: Several times, actually.

Bweka: Hi. : )
