Oh man, I'm doing it... I'm doing it RIGHT NOW
 

ha ha..... this is so great.

Remember how I posted that Andy Rooney list on things you can do to fight telemarketers?

hee hee


I just got the 4th call today from those Capital One fuckers. Always the same 1-866 number calling, and I usually just let my machine pick up, then they hang up right away.


.... but not this time.


ho ho ho ho


I answered, and as soon as the girl identified the company, I said "Uh, can you hold on for a second?"

She says (in a rather sexy sounding voice actually) "Sure mr Smith, no problem"

Then I put the phone down and came back to the computer. It's still sitting there live..... and I'M NOT COMING BACK.


ha haha hahahahaahaahaha



I love Andy Rooneyyyyyyy





Am I demented??

andy rooney is a homo


but i like that telemarketing idea

they are just doing their job.

also they are drilled in such situations

after 30 seconds of waiting the hang up and carry on and call again at the end of the rounds

I love playing games with telemarketers
i wish more would call me :glugglug

it isn't the telemarketers fault that she needs an honest job..I have been a telemarketer before and I know it sucks ass so that's why I'm kind of sensitive to them.

I just hang up on them and do it quick and painlessly

also if you hate it so much get a silent phone number

Don't take that tone with me young man.






Dude, seriously... if their job is to phone me five times a day no matter if I answer and tell them to stop phoning me, no matter if I ask them to remove me from their fucking list, then they get what they deserve. Period.



You really need to dig under the couch and find a sense of humor.

I had some guy call me from a cracked windshield company call me last year. That really pissed me off.


Then a woman called me from the same place with a tremendously sexy voice. She basically didnt care if i bought her product, she had me enthralled, kind of like the best sex i've ever had.

You should have told them that you're busy all the time and can't take their call ever!

I just lay the phone by a speaker and crank Metallica :glugglug They don't phone back

Here's a hint of what she had to listen to......


"I get knocked down but I get up again You're never going to keep me down
I get knocked down but I get up again You're never going to keep me down
I get knocked down but I get up again You're never going to keep me down
I get knocked down but I get up again You're never going to keep me down"

i've gotta do that!

I let them finish their pitch. Then I start asking lots of questions saying how their offer does sound good. Then when they ask if they can sign me up, I tell them I don't have the authority to do that cause I'm just the housesitter and the residents won't be home for another week.

They get really irritated after that.

I KNOW!

It was my first time. It felt great.

Got something against homos do you?




You're not suggesting we believe that you don't love the cock are you?

A couple of Live 365 stations that play great radio pranks and telemarketer harassment:

i hate telemarketers, we have a silent number but i get 3-4 calls per week looking for a guy that used to have our number, its fucking irritating

I'm talking 3 to 5 calls <i>per day</i> from this Capital One shitcorporated. Even on weekends. The first call comes at around 9 am, the last is usually between 10 and 11 at night.


This is war.


I asked them to take me off their list like a month ago. For some of you posting about the poor telelmarketers and it being "only doing their job"..... :321GFY bite me.

Then I put the phone down and came back to the computer. It's still sitting there live..... and I'M NOT COMING BACK
i should of thought of that sooner when someone calss and i don't want to talk with them :Graucho :Graucho

They haven't called back. Let's see what happens tomorrow.







muhahaaa

I just hang up. When I'm in a bad mood I scream then hang up.

Thats awsome, I love Andy!

:thumbsup

See, that's the point here.... I usually don't pick up in the first place. I have call display so I can see right away that it's them calling.


But this answering, asking them to hold on a sec, then putting down the phone and not coming back to it is kinda fun, in a "stick it to the assholes" kind of way.

This should be right up your alley. :D

Looks like you like doing it anytime of the day.

niiiiice! :1orglaugh

good job ! :thumbsup

Chances are they hang up after 30-60 secs.

What you should do is ask them to hold for a minute, then come back after 45 secs, ask them to start their pitch, then interrupt them ten seconds later, put them on hold for another 45 secs, etc...

Lots of fun if you're patient :thumbsup

hahaha good idea:D

thanks!!! you just gave me a good idea for Citi Card....they call her at LEAST 7 times a day..i even asked them "isnt more than 3 times HARRSMENT??" she said "We only call 3 times a day."

wanna fuckin bet?? their # is all over my caller id!

so they said they'd give me 5 days of peace. which was nice.

fuck it, now i'll just play around with them :Graucho

I don't use a landphone...no telemarketing ever

I had a girlfriend in highschool that would do this.

Telemarketer calls for her mom.

She starts crying saying that she got killed in a car accident last week.

They would never call back :)

I've done that before but I have no idea how long they hang on.

I don't think they call back here when you do that. Telemarketers are fucking annoying though. :ak47:

What you do is sound really interested and offer to buy whatever they are selling. Even offer to buy several of them ( tell them you have alot of grandkids etc. ). Get them really excited about making the sale. Then fill in all the information with them etc.. But when you get to your credit card. Say . hold on my wallets in the bedroom hold on.. Then fake a conversation really loud in the background as if you just caught your wife stealing money from your wallet.. Make alot of smashing sounds and such. Then say " Ill teach you to steal my shit whore take that bitch" , and one final smashing sound . Then say " honey ?? are you okay ?? " act like your freaking out. " honey BREATHE DAMNIT BREATH "... " I CAN'T STOP THE BLEEDING " WHY GOD WHYYYYYYY !!!!!!...

Then come back to the phone.. If they are still there " highly unlikely but nonetheless " if they are say .. Umm " yes sir my wife seems to gone on vacation with my wallet. i will have to call you back some other time.. "

I had a cop show up at my house after a similar stunt i pulled on a telemarketer.

He said the lady ( telemarketer ) called her crying asking for them to send over cops to catch me.

After explaining what really happened . The cop was laughing :1orglaugh He said he would go back and call the lady back and tell her it was a grisly crime scene.. :)

Thats funny she actually bought it and called the cops?

make the telemarketing scum suffer! :1orglaugh

those fucking telemarketing asses, call me every other hour and then I hangup or just say i dont want any, they fucking call again a couple of hours later and wonder if ive changed my mind!!:BangBang: :ak47:

ahhh, needed to vent a little.....:glugglug

Good one CD

Some good funny ways here to get back at them telemarketers.

I just don't seem to have any problems with them.
Haven't had a call like those for months now.
they must not like my money :thumbsup

Something that always works well is to simply pretend you can barely speak the language of the country you're in. Just add in a thick muslim accent, ask them to repeat whatever they say at least five times, randomly misunderstand things they say as insults, etc.
Many are not allowed to hang up in such situations, so you can really have quite a bit of fun with it :glugglug

Nice,and congrats on 13k posts:thumbsup

Poor telemarketer!

I don't mind them so much when they don't have trouble pronouncing my names. It's not rocket science. My first name is easy to read and last name, well say it a couple of times before you call. I can't stand the "is your mommy or daddy home?" I do not sound like a child, I just tell them they blew up last week.

I know they have a job to do, but for christ sakes at least do a dry run of my name before you call. Pffft, mommy or daddy...hang on and I'll get them CLICK!
