Brent, I believe my link is to That call

Answer 1

I LOVE to mess with telemarketers. One called from a mattress company. I answered the phone and said, "DAD, ITS' FOR YOU!" I put on my best old Finlander's accent....asked all kinds of questions. I was told I'd have 4 mantresses to choose from and the sales person would bring a sample of each. I asked her if the guy was going to leave the mattresses so I could sleep on them for 4 nights. She said no, it would just be a sample. I insisted that I'd only know if I slept on them. On and on! I got that poor girl going i circles. Finally she said OH F YOU! and hung up she was so frustrated! hahahaha
Another time I got a call telling me I had won 3 free dance lessons. I told the lady I could not dance, but she assured me they could teach ANYONE to dance. I told her she didn't understand that in May of 67 I was in Viet Nam and had both my legs blown off up to my thighs and was in a wheel chair. Silence....then she said, "OH, I THINK WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT!"
Ask the charity outfits that call how much of a percentage your gift would be to the charity. They'll tell you 100% normally. Then ask them if they are volunteers if not, ask them who pays their salary. I got talking to one lady who got so upset with my question, started crying and said, "I can't work here anymore. Thank you for opening my eyes!" because she asked her supervisor...and admitted that AROUND 40% made it to the charity!
If they want to sell me something, I tell them I am in the process of losing my house because my wife is in the hospital and our insurance isn't paying neraly enough and I had to declare bankruptcy, that I had my car repossessed and since I didn't have a car, I couldn't get to work and lost my job and then lost MY insurance though my wife has some....and on and on..
MTI called once and wanted me to switch over. I told them that it wasn't a good time because I was sitting by my father's side who had died a bit ago and we were waiting for the funeral home to come pick him up. Two days later...they called back AGAIN!
One lady called from a LOCAL company...windows or something...and I asked her if she knew anything about the Navy. Her father had been in. I told her I had just gotten back from a year in the Middle East and she had just interrupted a great bout of love making and my wife was REALLY ticked because I had answered the phone. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" and she hung up! hahahahaha
Or I answer the phone and make gasping noises and say things like OHHH YEAH, THAT' S IT...&(%& it! YES AAGGGGHHH! and they hang up!
Or I act like a lunatic and tell them they need to get someone to help me (as I'm 'crying') that the PARANOIDS are masticating all over the house and they're going to get me!
I pretend they just woke me up and I have them repeat everything....then I start snoring as they're talking away.
I am SOOOO mean!

Answer 2

I have to admit, were I to have thought of this, I would be doing it left and right! I usually start sobbing, ask why they are doing this, that (Mr. ....") has just been found dead, and I cannot believe how cruel you are to do this to me...where is the decency in your life? Who the hell are you that you are doing this to me......." By the time I am done, they are so appolgetic, I am sure they will never, NEVER call again....
But now, i think I will have to come up with something more threatening..this is great! IF I have to recieve these damend calls, I might as well have some real fun with it...and this was real fun!

Answer 3

yes - tell them you have to turn off the TV and let the phone sit for 1/2hour. Or, Ask the caller if they know jesus and start singing hymns, or act like they have called the scene of a crime... Not sure what you-tube coinnection you refer but there is a hilarious one out there about some dude calling a murder scene and the recipient of the call really leads him on a wild goose chase.

Answer 4

20 points to the best question
on the board!!! My opinion is that I didn't give them my phone number...did I? and I
didn't ask them to call me....
did I?...and especially when I
am eating my dinner. (I get
very nasty when my dinner is
interrupted.) So then I have
a good excuse to lay these
people low. Right??? Yes, I
know it's their job, but anyone
who has that job expects to
be insulted...right?
Soooo, many of them have
gotten the blue-tongue lashing from me. I finally got smart
and signed up with the
Federal "Don't call" list. I
almost miss being able to
VENT...but since I'm on
dial-up...they can't get thru
anyhow.

Answer 5

When a telemarketer calls, they usually talk about a thousand words in one second and since I have hearing problems, I just say to them truthfuly "Sorry I can't hear you!"
Once, one of the callers began yelling to me when I said that to see if I could hear more clearer to buy some type of insurance policy. I just said "I did not understand" and hung up.

Answer 6

Yes, I have a soft, high voice and I pretend I'm a child have make up something about finding mommy. I then start talking non-stop about anything like a 5 yrs. old would. It's a lot of fun!

Answer 7

s plenty, yet he's grown up. he resides as much as his recognition of a stunning pimp (as oxymoronic as that is). His ear for beats could have replaced, yet he continues to be making relaxing track. Snoop Dogg became into by no capacity a lyrical monster. He makes relaxing, head nodding, occasion track. And he nonetheless does, in spite of who the production comes from, whether that is Dre or the Neptunes. And c'mon, The Blue Carpet therapy is taken into consideration one of Snoop's maximum suitable albums no longer pronounced as Doggystyle, and it became into released in the era of his albums seen "whack". apart from, Snoop is likely considered one of the main respectable MCs in the mainstream. he's have been given a large style of love for the underground and has a tendency to offer them shine (this is a hell of so plenty extra beneficial than different mainstream MCs do, this is a disgrace pondering the skills available in places like Chi, manhattan and Detroit). Malice N Wonderland had production from Scoop DeVille, who's a factor of the Get Busy Committee with Apathy, he has a collaboration album with B-authentic due out next twelve months, and he recognized on l. a. Coka Nostra's debut album. He has a tendency to hold underground acts on excursions with him and rock with them on point. he's have been given a large style of love for hip hop. And yet ever because he did a song with Soulja Boy all i've got seen is comments approximately him being a sell out. i will admit Ego Trippin wasn't a large album, yet Malice N Wonderland became into common an relaxing pay attention. Like I saighgggggdrdry8d, had Snoop been the West Coast equivalent of R.A the Rugged guy or some sh*t and consistently spoke on conserving hip hop a hundred and then he began recording with the Neptunes and Soulja Boy i could agree that he's a sell out. yet he's by no capacity been that lyrical. he's a delicate, laid back musician who in basic terms makes relaxing track. no longer even his maximum hailed album is lyrical. And he continues to be offering us with relaxing musicccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc... Snoop Dogg continues to be between the main suitable and maximum solid mainstream musicians. he's neither a sell out or a fall off. in case you probably did no longer call him a sell out for signing to No cut back and recording with C

Answer 8

No, I didn't even bother to listen, I just hung up on them. But now I am on the DO NOT CALL list. Strange, no more harassing calls. And you know they always had to come around dinner time. LOL

Answer 9

I've tried, but I start laughing too soon. If I give the phone to hubby, he has a great time with the salesperson.

Answer 10

The most fun I've had with telemarketers is when I joined the DO NOT CALL list!
