From the “here’s where you can stick your do-not-call list” department — Woman Gets Threatening Letter After Hanging Up On Telemarketer:

Jill Beyer, of Waterford Township, Mich., said she received the letter about one week after she refused to donate money in a recent call from a telemarketer.
“He wanted a donation for the veterans’ association, which the veterans don’t get that much of that money. That’s why I wouldn’t donate to him,” Beyer said.
Beyer (pictured, left) said the man refused to take no for an answer so she hung up the phone.
“I slammed the phone very hard,” Beyer said.
The letter arrived postmarked from El Paso, Texas. The first lines read, “Before you are rude to another telemarketer, you should keep in mind that he or she has your phone number and your address. Many of them live in your own state and most don’t give a (expletive)! ”

The full letter is pretty creepy. What on earth would someone be thinking when they sent something like this?
