Fun with Telemarketers

[Boss Hoss]

Nobody that knows me calls my house phone so i know its a telemarketer at least 90% of the time. Instead of getting pissed at these people calling me at all times i found a way to have fun. Do not call list? No way, telemarketers are way too much fun.

Ebaumsworld has a list of soundboards...from Judge Judy to Homer Simpson. Next time a telemarketer calls, put your cordless phone on speaker phone, use your desired soundboard and laugh like your a kid!

I like letting them go through the whole speel....and then say no and then let them go through all the rebuttles and 2nd chance offers, etc......and then say, sorry i don't have a job nor any money so my answer is still NO! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I have the "disconnected number" SIT tone in the beginning of our answering machine greeting. A free Telezapper if you will. Works great!

I feel they are wasting my time . So i tell them "Yes i'm interested , just let me grab the other phone. One second" Then i set the phone down on counter and go on with whatever i was doing. I dont know how long they stay online before they hang up , but i feel this is the best way i can get back at them for wasting my time.

I know who they are when they pronounce my last name wrong http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I immediately interrupt them and ask them to remove us from their "list" and promptly hang up. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

My family runs off cellphones. We don't play the home phone game. We have many quite days cause noone has our number. When I used to get the telemarketer calls I would give the phone to my son and let him deal with them. He would let them go through their deal and say sorry I am just a kid you need to talk to my parents. They would usually hang up.

Way too fun. I could waste hours just pressing the sound byteshttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif It's kind of cool to press 3 or 4 in rapid succession you can almost listen to it have a conversation with its self.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I talk dirty to them. Like really dirty. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Just make sure they`re not gay or they`ll keep calling back. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif
