1) That's ridiculous if it is the only job one can get and pay rent with (it is slightly better paid than catering/bar work). If the choice is either that or homelessenss it is not a real choice.
2)It's not that annoying. You just have to put the phone down.
3)tough there's an economist in my head screaming that the more unpleasant you make telemarketing, the harder it'll be to find people willing to do it. If somebody decides to clean toilets (or burgle houses, for that matter) rather than cold-calling, that's a win for society.
4)leaving telemarketers waiting shouldn't make the job more unpleasant for them, but should make it less profitable for the companies.
It does make the job more unpleasant for them since they will get shouted at if they don't make enough sales. And leaving them waiting will stop them from phoning other people.
4)
Surely it would be better to show some sort of solidarity with people working in miserable jobs instead.
