Telemarketers

Re: Telemarketers

My old phone number was very similar to the main Pizza Hut number and a bank's number.

I used to take orders all the time, and they'd call back and I'd be like.. I'm sorry sir/ma'am, we had some technical difficulties and your order will be there shortly. I'd say that for almost an hour, then just not pick up.

I could have stolen some personal information while imitating the back, but I was too chicken****.

Re: Telemarketers

Sometimes telemarketers do the job because they need the money, and know full well how little people like to be interrupted, and are just trying to do their job and earn their wage.

You know what I do to telemarketers? I tell them that I'm not interested in their service, thank them for the information and wish them a good evening. You can -hear- the thanks in their goodbye because they finally got a "no" that wasn't a "no, you stupid f ****ing asshole stay away from me, bastard"

Re: Telemarketers

I usually attempt to start long drawn out conversations with them about something completely irrelevant.

*especially the outsourced ones from India or something.

Re: Telemarketers

If it's an outsourced Indian.. I just scream "STOP STEALING AMERICAN'S JOBS!" and hang up. But if it's an American telemarketer, my friend will start off slow with conversation about the product/service they're selling, then start getting into debates about controversial issues. One time, he heard the person's supervisor yell at the telemarketer "What the hell are you talking about that for! I'm docking your pay for blahblahblah!"

Pure funny.

Re: Telemarketers

Yeah, nothing says funny like being an asshole and getting someone in trouble for your own sense of annoyance.

Re: Telemarketers

OK, do this one.

Next time you look on your caller ID, and if it is a telemarketer, then answer the phone by saying.

"Welcome to KWXB Lesbian and Gay Radio, Welcome caller- What is your sexual preference?"

I've done this before.

Even though they know who they are calling, they get all flusted and hang up.

It's great when a telemarketer hangs up on you.

As per my story, I was polite twice. As per conduct law, after someone says no twice, any continuation of the sell is outright harassment.

Re: Telemarketers

After hearing whatever they have to talk about, i usually say"Thats pretty interesting but im busy at the moment, can you give me your home phone so i can call you later?"
They say no
Then i say"Yea i guess you dont want to be bothered by a stranger a home"

then i hang up

Re: Telemarketers

Soundboards are always fun if you know the soundboard well ^^

Re: Telemarketers

Or playing some porn really loud in the background.. then say "can't you hear I'm busy."

Childish.. but still funny.

Re: Telemarketers

Ok, this is what I do! I upload gun-shot sounds onto my computer ahead of time and when a ad person calls I put it on speaker and start to talk to them. Then all of a sudden I launch the sounds and start sreaming like a little girl and launch myself onto the floor. Then you have to be as quiet as possible... and they start freaking out!
It's a lot of fun!
