Hmmm, telemarketers seem do be calling...?

Question

more often than they used too. Every 10 minutes or so.
I feel like playing with them, next call, should I:-
A) Talk with an indian accent back to them.
B) Scream in the background to hide the body, Cops!!
C) Ask him/her what they are wearing.
D) Preach to them the wonders of sheep.

Answer 1

I really love B. I think that you should go with that and see how fast they hang up.

Answer 2

Those are funny, but act like you're robbing the place and you have no idea who he's asking to talk to. Hold the phone away alittle and yell "Hey dude, don't forget the dvd players upstairs and check the freezer for the cash!" Then say "Oh sh**, I think the cops are here". And just hang up!lol Or you could act like an angry jealous husband/wife and accuse the telemarketer of having an affair with your spouse! That would shake them up alittle!

Answer 3

You need to have a cordless phone for this one, but it works every time. Let them talk for a sec to hook em. Then ask them if they could just hold on a second. Go in the bathroom and start making fart noises and or drop something large in the toilet, then flush. If they are still on the line after that, cheerfully begin again.

Answer 4

I just set down the phone and then later when I hear the tone going off I put it back on the base. They don't even realize until the ten minutes when they're done talking that nobody's there.

Sometimes I hear them in the distance "Hello? Hello? Hello?"

hehehe

Or, I turn the volume up really high on the stereo, put the phone to the speaker and then turn it on. lol "What? I Can't hear you!"

Answer 5

What I do is go along with them right to the end, and then when they say "do we have an agreement or something like that" I say no. You wasted my time, now I wasted yours. It sounds mean but I always get the same ppl calling with the same product as before.

Answer 6

find a musical toy, that plays an irritating tune, over and over again. tell the caller to hold the line then leave them listening to this toy.

after ten or fifteen mins see if they are still there.
say "THANKYOU FOR HOLDING, YOU'RE CALL IS IMPORTANT TO ME," then leave them listening again


above is from an advert from Nambarri tea, in the UK, very funny

Answer 7

go on to a sound board like Mr Rogers and push random things while holding the phone up to a speaker.

Answer 8

I tell them that I'm so glad they called. I'd like to tell them about Jesus (Said enthusiastically). I don't get very many calls anymore - maybe one or two a month.

Answer 9

Any one of them will work, but I say go with "C" and see where that goes.

Answer 10

When you get tired of joking, just tell them that you are on a DNC list (do-not-call list).

BTY: put your number on that list.
