Why do people get pleasure from abusing anyone else, even a telemarketer? They are poor (as in they have no money, that's why they take such a thankless job) and are just trying to make a living, just like the rest of us. Do you know how hard and unpleasant it is to have to cold call people for a living? It is a miserable life without having people being deliberately abusive. Like everyone else, I dodge telemarketer calls whenever I can tell one is calling. Whenever one gets through my overwhelming sense is of pity for the poor slob who has to try to telemarket me. A polite but firm "We're not interested" is all it takes.

By the way, the OP did not mess with a ROBO caller. He did not mess with the company who hires robo callers. He did not mess with the ROBO caller responsible for making the call to him ad he did not mess with the company responsible for hiring the people who made the robo call. He messed with a working man who works for a small company who is owned by a guy who is trying to build his business by buying leads from a marketing agency and who has no way to know whether the lead was generated by a robo call. The marketing agency charged the company owner by the lead and gets them from a dozen places, including the ones generated by robo callers.

The guy in the truck probably is probably an employee of the guy who bought the lead. He has a certain number of leads to run down (probably at his own expense) with the expectation that he'll make a sale on most of his house calls and he'll get paid a commission on his sales. The guy responsible for the call is in the Bahamas and was unaware of the OP's revenge.
