Public Apology

Last weekend on Saturday evening at 8:10pm my phone rang. It, of course, was a telemarketer. I only remember her name, Sophia. I don't remember what company she was calling about (or for). I felt a little bold and so I proceeded to tell her that it was rude to call on a Saturday evening and I hung up. Not even on full minute later the phone rings, AGAIN. And yes it was Sophia, AGAIN. I then raised my voice and got angry with her. I said some mean things and she never let up, she continued to tell me her little sells gimmick. Then I said take me off your calling list and the woman told me NO!!! She tried to tell me that my number was public information and she could call anytime she wanted. So I informed her that it is federal law to take me off if I asked and she started over again with her sells gimmick. SHEESH! I ended up just hanging up the phone.
I do apologies for losing my temper it was uncalled for. I really should have taken a different approach to this whole situation. I do however strongly believe she was in the wrong from the very first phone call. But I don't need to act like a fool.
For now on I am going to calmly ask for the persons name and company and possibly a phone number and then ask to be taken off of the list this way if I have problems I will then be calling in a formal complaint.
