View Full Version : Love those phone telemarketers
Since everyone is asking A to Z questions, I will too. What do you do when you get a call from phone telemarketers? Most of the time I just hang up, but sometimes I mess with them, hard....
I say "wow, that sounds great!, i'll be right back" and set the phone down beside the chair and go back to watching TV.
I say in a weird voice to both men and women telemarketers, "What are you wearing?" Is it silky? They always hang up on that one.
I act real deaf sometimes, but act interested in their product. Them: "Mr Osborne, I have a deal for you"! Me real loud: "Cosborne? Nope, no one here by that name!" Them: NO, Osborne!" Me: Osborne! Oh yes, thats me! you have to speak up a bit, i'm kind of hard of hearing". I go on and on with them. I have them shouting into the phone. "We sell vinyl siding!" I say "Whats that? vinyl sliding? yep, we have a slide for the grandkids already!" They shout "NO, VINYL SIDING!"
I say, "oh, vinyl siding! That sounds real nice!" God I go on and on with them. ;)

I do that one all the time..... makes the wife mad!!! :devil: I tell her not to answer if the caller ID doesn't show up, but when she does and it's a tm they ask for me. She thinks its funny till I say "Hold on, I need to get a pen." Then I leave the phone on the table and go outside.:D

When they call during dinner and ask for my mom or dad, I say "No, sorry hes not here right now, but if you leave me your home phone number I can have him call back next time you're eating dinner..". Then they start apologizing and stuff and I just hang up.

start breathing real hard for no reason and blow in the talking piece, it hurts the ear lol, and push and hold the buttons when there talkin, that hurts the ears too if u hold it, oh ya, just start asking why, why, why, why and crap like that, gets em pissed off. Or you could be like wuts your name, then say, you sound sexy, wanna come share my whipped cream on your body, lmao

Get one of those hand-held air horns like they use to distract golfers or sporting events.
Blast it into the reciever.
We have a law in MN that they can't call anymore, so we have been fairly undisturbed for a while now.

they cant call at all or do we have to be put on a " do not call list"
cuz i have noticed they havent been calling her for a while and i liked messing with them
When they call here, I pretend to be the owner/spouse of the house..... then my find comes in the background sounding like a little kid. While im telling them im interested in there products or service I have my friend start screaming, then I say to my friend (or pretending son) "You SOB, Get your *** back to your room!" While making load belt sounds against the kitchen floor. As my friend runs off crying, the telemarketers seem very uninterested with doing business with me :D .

Sometimes I like to be real nice to them.
I had one selling basement siding, and I asked lots of questions about price, construction, possible options. Then they asked if they could send someone out to demo the products, I said sure.
They asked me what time would be good for the demo, I said as soon as I dig a basement. :devil:
