1. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they got into this line of work, if they are married, how many kids they have, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.
2. Say "no" over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This is most fun if you can do it until they hang up.
3. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends, would you be my friend?"
4. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems. My arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog has the gout..."
5. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood? Can you get out goat blood? How about human blood?"
6. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back. When the telemarketer explains that telemarketers cannot give out their home numbers say, "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The telemarketer will agree and you say, "Me either!" Hang up.
7. Ask them to repeat everything they say several times.
8. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on, Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your momma?"
9. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up . . . louder . . . louder . . .
10. When the salesperson asks, "Is this the homeowner?" say, "Is this the salesperson?" And when they say, "Yes," hang up.

I love it. rickyhj2002 01-30-2007, 01:02 AM sounds like fun:yup: NONE_too_SOFT 01-30-2007, 01:05 AM we all work our daily jobs, I dont want people to treat me like **** when im just trying to make a living.
If you dont know the number calling then dont pick up. If you dont have caller ID then get a better job, maybe telemarketing. marko138 01-30-2007, 01:06 AM we all work our daily jobs, I dont want people to treat me like **** when im just trying to make a living.

I have to disagree- bothering someone in the privacy of their own home (even if its just a phone call) is disrespectful to say the least. It used to piss me off to stop whatever it was I was doing on my day off- just to find out the call was just a damn telemarketer. The only thing worse then a telemarketer is a door to door salesman. If I need something- I'll contact the business, I don't need them to remind me of their "special offers".
I haven't had any telemarketers calling since I got rid of my home phone- but back in the day man it was every 30 minutes... I found that trying to have phone sex with them seemed to do the trick. :whistle: Phenix_Rider 01-30-2007, 07:53 AM I have to disagree- bothering someone in the privacy of their own home (even if its just a phone call) is disrespectful to say the least.

:yikes: THAT WOULD TO IT!
Sometimes it's just fun to see how long they can run on without any response. I'll lay the phone down and play with the computer till they shut up or go "hello? hello?!":lol: Trip 01-30-2007, 07:56 AM I don't get telemarketers, I don't have a land line. saverok 01-30-2007, 12:18 PM my favorite came from Jim Rome.
when they call in and say :blah: blast them with the co2 horn.

:iagree: for the most part it is still fun to play around with them some if they havr a since of humor it will probably brighten their day of getting bitched at by pissed off people. If not then f them I have no time for people with out a sense of humor. that was pretty damn funny...:lol: Crazy250 01-30-2007, 11:56 PM 6.
