I just always tell them me or my wife are dead. They always are very apologetic. I always then tell them I am glad they're dead, it seems to freak people out.

YES!!! He was calling for my brother, who did not live there anymore, and he wouldn't stop calling. In an hour honestly he called about 6 times. OK, I think that it might have been a collection agency also, but anyways, I put him on hold. In the background, I could hear him listening to The Lion King, while he said that these people are ridiculous. I told him that he was the ridiculous one, he was a grown man, and while doing a job, it was very rude to be singing into the phone. Yeah, I don't think that he called back anymore.

I used to be one! Yuck I know! It's a horrible job and ppl hate u. If a telemarketer calls u have to tell them to take u off their calling list or they will put u back into the computer and call again, and when they are done they will sell that list to someone else..

No, but my brother did. He got sick of them calling, so once he started out by asking the person "What are you wearing?" only he was more elaborate about it. Turns out it was a man on the other end of the line... The guy didn't know what to say!

My husband asks for time to think about the offer and asks for a phone number to call back. Gets them flummoxed every time.

I will sometimes try to sell them something, since it seems to be so irritating to them. My dad is known to pick up the phone when one calls, giggle creepily into the phone, then hang up. Sometimes, he'll tell them not to call him, and yell at them for a while.

I say just a minute and leave it off the hook until I can hear the dial tone or the beeps from another room.

I've asked for home phone numbers, asked one out on a date, constantly put them on hold and one time I agreed to buy something, then when they put the manager on the line I told her I changed my mind.

1. They ask to speak to my dad. I told them they need to speak up and hold the phone up to the URN.
2. I tell them i need to speak with my backrupcy lawyer
before i can buy your time share.
3. Ask them for their home phone and i will call them later
so we can discuss this.

I acted like I was about to commit suicide. The poor fool was trying so hard to talk me down.
