My mum & I have both run across more than our fair share of the "Mujibar" & "Peggy" types and have often wanted to get our hands on the company executives & smack them on the back of their beany little heads for outsourcing telemarketing jobs. Telemarketing calls are, in general, very annoying when they use Americans to place the calls, but when they use foreiners to do the job, apparently not caring that the caller barely understands or speaks English, the frustration factor goes sky high, not with the caller but with the company that uses such sales methods. More than once we've hung up on such calls, vowing never to use their product if we can avoid it.
