I hate elections, I really do

Telemarketer: Hi, let me speak to {Mom}.

Me: *annoyed at the way Telemarketer phrased it* May I suggest you ask if you can talk to her instead of telling me what to do

That would be an extremely rude way for her to speak to anyone, no matter where you were calling from.

[keladry_lupin]

Precisely.

Only a few more weeks! (I live in a swing state; I feel your pain. Even if I do have fun messing with the polls. ;->)

But yes, you'd think that they would be just a wee bit more polite, especially if they're courting your vote...

Thank goodness for that! I look forward to this one being over, even though the first rumblings of the 2016 election will start in less than a year. Bleah.

How rude of them...

[keladry_lupin]

I would have let it slide if I was feeling nicer, but I so wasn't.

I live in a pretty solidly blue state. No one cares what I think.

That was pretty rude, though. Good for you for reminding them of a little courtesy.

[keladry_lupin]

I'm not usually this rude, because the telemarketer usually isn't the source of my irritation, but the way she started off just rubbed me the wrong way.

[keladry_lupin]

Yup!
