Hello Lieberman Research, Goodbye.

So Lieberman Research called me for a TV viewing survey yesterday.

Since yesterday was Sunday, I was somewhat perturbed by their intrusion on my day of worship. (Worship of the cold and frosty)

I decided to just give them my usual, "I'm not interested." [ CLICK ], response.

So when they just called me again today, I raised my perturbity to a higher level.

"You know, you guys called me yesterday, a Sunday, and I told you I wasn't interested."

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry about that."

"And I'm on a do not call list. Why are you calling me?"

"Well sir, those rules do not apply to us. We're a market research firm."

"Ok, well please do not call me any more."

Will All Telemarketing Calls Stop If I Register?

Q: If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it stop all telemarketing calls?

A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing calls. You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship.
