I just had one call. She had a thick accent, so I gave her a thick accent back. She hung up on me.

It wasn't me...but my Dad sent me this thing...someone told the guy they were the police and he was calling a crime scene. You gotta check it out...you will laugh for days!

Sometimes I tell them I have to get a pencil and go to the store. Occasionally they're still on when I get back. But usually I say, "I'm not interested, but while we're both here, how would you like to buy some Viagra?" Once I put the phone next to the blender, or I look up Mayhem (ugh) on Media Player, turn it up, and let it play. Or I ask them about their family. "How's the wife and kids? You're a woman?..No, I don't want a credit card...so how did your aunt's operation go? You don't have an aunt?" It's always fun when they call.

Put my five year old niece on the phone. Or when they have a thick Indian accent and say their name is Bill from Ohio I tell them that they're giving out false advertisement and that I won't be taken for a fool.

The day after my father passed away a telemarketer called for him my mom calmly said "He died Yesterday" They hung up.
I hand the phone to my 5 year old son. He can talk your ear off and he will keep asking them questions and won't let them say goodbye. They have to hang up on him.

With enrollment in the do not call list, I don't have that problem anymore. But I used to ask them to hold and just put the phone down next to a radio. Then check every few minutes to see if they're still there. Other times, I would grab my coaches whistle and give them hell in their ears.

Pretended that there was a fight going on in my house when they rung. My girlfriend was in on it and we both took turns on the phone. I was telling them I was interested in buying what they were offering and also my girlfriend was.
We would say "Wait there", then argue with every name under the sun and banging doors and walls. Come back to the phone, all polite and so on. It lasted for around 30 minutes and then said "I have to call an ambulance for my girlfriend I have to use the phone".
It was hilarious and haven't had them call back since.

One time I had these telemarketers call me and try to sell me time shares in lake Tahoe so I told them that I was a car sales man and that I would love to sell them some cars and perhaps we should get together, they hung up on me.

I try not to be mean to them. I mean, I'm sure they hate their jobs, as telemarketing is NOT an easy gig! Usually, I have a full and friendly conversation with them and at the end say, "Thank you for the offer and even though it sounds quite appealing, I'm not interested at the moment. Maybe in the future but not right now. Have a nice day!" =)

Someone wanted to cook a meal in our home one time & my husband said sure. Then he proceded to tell him that he was gay & that he was having a nude party that night. Then he asked if the cook would do special things with the food. They didn't know what to say & never called back!
