what is the funniest thing you've ever done to a telemarketer?

Question

interpret it any way you like.. funniest most honest answer wins. i want to LAUGH.

Answer 1

My brother-in-law used to sell life insurance. When one telemarketer called, I changed the subject to life insurance and asked him if he had enough. When he said "no", I got his home number and passed it on to my brother-in-law. He actually made a sale.

Answer 2

I just asked a question on what i can do when they call. These ideas are GOLD! lol I'm doing the Pizza one & the repeat one next time they call lol I normally just put them on hold cos it's costing them to sit there & listen to nothing. After about 2mins they just hang up. Also if you ask to take a message they ALWAYS say no.

Answer 3

When the telemarketer called, I asked how she got the number(it's non-published). She said that it just came up on her computer screen. I then told her that all calls coming in to that number were recorded for security purposes. She hung up.

My next favorite was when I kept interrupting the telemarketer to ask him all sorts of personal questions, including his home phone number so that I could call him back at dinnertime. He finally swore at me and hung up.

Answer 4

They called, and I was ready....

"Hello, this is (can't remember name) and I would like to tell you about our amazing service. Today, and only today, you can get (I forget what, maybe cable?) for just (however much). To claim this just call...."

"That sure does sound like an amazing product, but you know what's really amazing? MY amazing product is only $20. This carpet cleaner will get rid of any and every stain on that dirty carpet of yours....."

It went on for another few minutes before he interrupted my speech, some arguing, and a *click*.

Sadly, that hasn't stopped the hordes of telemarketers from calling. It'll never stop....

Answer 5

They called.. I got their name (Mike).. said hold on.... came back to the phone when they weren't expecting it and said..
"HI! May I speak with Mike please? Then I went on to tell him I was from a collection agency and this was an attempt to collect a debt" I think the conversation lasted 5 or 6 min before he became frustrated and hung up.

I have also became an Asian woman who was really excited that she had won that "7 day cruise" I talked like this *jkdffi fvhifhb jkhui* and ended my sentences with yes! Thank you! and wonderful American Country!!

I have answered the phone and RANTED and raved about them calling me at dinner time. (It was clearly morning) " I am sitting here with my family enjoying this wonderful pot roast and you call and disrupt my evening. I remember saying something about my bald headed twins Juanito and Bob and something about my dog losing his hair in all of his private spots." I asked her has she ever seen a dog without hair in his private spots. She said no. I asked her "How did she know where my dog's private spots were" She hung up!

LMAO

Answer 6

I've never done anything cuz I used to be a telemarketer so I'm nice even though I do tell them I'm not interested. Everytime one of them ask my niece if Mr. or Mrs. ? are home she says no and they always ask when they'll be back so she tells them "I don't know, ask your mama", it usually takes them a while and they'll finally say "what" and she repeats, "ask your mama, that's who he was with last time I saw him". You have to hear the inflection in her voice to get her sense of humor though.

Answer 7

After they said who they were and started talking about their product, I put the phone down and went back to my cleaning. Every few mins I would pick up the phone say uh huhhhhh, then put the phone down. This went on for a few mins then I picked up the phone again, said really not interested and they tried to talk me into it. Again put the phone down for a bit, picked it up and they were saying my name and are you there, hello are you there, I said no, she left and said to tell you she wasn't interested then hung up.
Another thing I'll do is when they ask for me I say she's not home, then hang up.

Answer 8

I let her get half way through the script then I said 'oh i'm sorry I didn't hear you. Could you please repeat what you said. They got half way through again and i said the same thing. Then I just started yelling "HELLO HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?? Then I hung up. I laughed so hard a nearly wet myself.

Answer 9

I pretend like I know the guy and he completely forgot he was trying to sell me something.

Answer 10

I put an air horn in the phone and pushed the button and let er rip.
