What do you say?
 

Imagine if you would

you sit down for dinner, and the phone rings... and you pick up... say hello... and it's a fucking telemarketer trying to sell you some stupid shit, that you would never want if your fucking dogs life depended on it....

what do you say?

No thanks, Im not interested. (hows that for tough?)

"Well I am eating dinner right now, if you give me your home phone number, I will call you when you are home, I keep crazy hours, so it could be 2 or 3 in the morning"

Firstly, if I thought it was a telemarketer by the caller id markings, I wouldnt answer the phone.

If for some reason I wasnt sure, and decided to answer, the second I know its a telemarketer, Id just hang up the phone.

No reason for any elaborate stories, and this and that. Just hang up. Simple as that.

Same here. Why bother wasting your time with the fuckers?

Make em sorry for calling, maybe they'll take you off their lists :thumbsup

You can have alot of fun with telemarkerters, Ask em their name mid pitch, they'll always give it up and then hammer em with personal questions about their family, what are they eating for lunch, always a winner, ask them what they think of garlic. totally blows their minds.

The more you act like a nut when they call you the greater the chances they put you on a do not call list.

Spent 4 years telemarketin to gain this prized insight, cause, as insane as you think the telemarketers are, they are all just really goofing on you. Why not goof on em back and see how mallable they are.......

Lates!

i never answer my phone unless i recognize the number...
but if i ever got called by a telemarketer, i'd totally fuck with him.

pretend you're interested in what he's saying, ask questions that he'd already answered, then tell him you'll take two and give him someone else's address.

or maybe tell them they have a sexy voice (especially if you're the same sex) and ask for their email address to continue this chat later while you're wearing something more comfortable.

or if you're really bored, take up as much of his time as possible, reducing his productivity. or get his extension or name and call him back 6 times a day "where's my order??"

maybe i should start answering the phone more often!

rotflmao... that's a good one...

Hold on a second and hang up!:winkwink:

Tell them you are busy at the moment but if the will give you thier home number you would be happy to call them back and discuss whatever they are selling.

Or you could just hang up... that always sends a clear signal... no need to beat around the bush with them. Time is money you know.

you actually answer your phone?

Usually I just grunt and then set the phone down so they can keep talking and I can get back to whatever it was I was doing.

When I'm feeling particularly inspired, I ask them what they're wearing.

I usually stick the kids onthe phone for a few minutes :1orglaugh
...They don't call back for a few months :1orglaugh

I'll usually hang up but sometimes I'll:

1. Ask them to hold...and go out and run some errands...maybe come back a couple of hours later to see how they're doing

2. Fuck w/em by saying:
A. Did you hear that...I tell you...that damn CIA has my phone tapped...
B. Say, you caught me at a bad time, I'm cooking dinner right now, so can I call you back? Say..before I let you go..you know any good Itallian dishes that I could cook? See if you can swapp some recipes?
C. "God...the sound of your voice really turns me on...what size shoe do you wear...cuz I wanna imagine how big your ??? is...
(NOTE:This only works if both you and the caller are male...it usually causes a quick dial tone to be heard shortly after the salesperson starts their pitch....and not by you)
D. Answer the phone...and pretend to be in a hurry..tell the salesperson that you're only stopping by to rob the place and that someone had to answer the phone to keep the noise down and not draw any attention to the house..than hang up quickly...

Yeah what a concept, your miles ahead of us Fletch.
