1.Oh, it's you again. I was hoping you'd call back. The better business people said I need more positive identification to file my complaint. Now first let me have your name and telephone number...

2.When they ask "How are you today?" Tell them! "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 just died...."

3.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. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.

4.Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you? Oh my gosh! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of pause as she tries to figure out where the hell she could know you from.

5.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?"

6.If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.

7.Tell the telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could bring you a case of beer and some chips.

8.After the telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your credit card number to a complete stranger.

9.Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask them if they will give you their HOME phone number so you can call them back. When the telemarketer explains that they cannot give out their HOME number, you say "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The telemarketer will agree and you say, "Now you know how I feel! " Say goodbye and hang up.

10.Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your momma?"

11.Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY because you want to write EVERY WORD down.
 

LOL Red.
some good ones there.

I had one the other day on my cell phone.

I said,

First off, This is a Cell phone and your Wasting my Minutes.

Now I want your name, Phone Number, and name of your company,
Because I want to report you, because I'm on a no call list.

She asked, Do you want to talk to my Manager ?

I said yes and she put me on hold for 60 Seconds and comes on and askes, Are you still there ? I said YES and she said Hold on.

the manager then came on and gave me the Info.
I just wish I knew what no call list I'm on :(

But I doubt the'll risk doing it again.
 

BECAUSE I'M ON CALL 24 7 I HAD TO GET RID OF HOUSE PHONE GOT CO. CELL AND STILL GET ODD CALL BUT YOU CAN'T BLOCK NO.S ON CELL UP HERE
 

i prefer
OH MY GOD YOU HAVENT HEARD YET
in the most hysterical like someone just died voice ;D
 

My aunt was a fun lady to be around. She once had a magazine subscription company call her. She acted so excited and ordered like 4 magazines. When she was about done giving them all her info. She asked one more question. These do come in Braille don't they?. They never called her again.
 

Hi everyone,i use to have fun with phone hawkers,just start chatting about the weather and whats for dinner and a whole lot about nothing.In the end they would give up and alway asked too ring back for a pleasant chat about nothing. ;D ;D ;D Then the local government put restrictions on these sort of phone selling methods and now no-one wants too chat with tin :'( :'( :'(



tinpan ;D ;D ;D
 

You know, I'm really interested, could you please repeat what you just said...

just sit the phone down and wait till they have finished...

then say, you know I had to step out to the bathroom and I missed some of your pitch, would you please repeat ;D
 

My personal favorite is this:

Lead them on! They are working numbers so x number of calls = a closed sale of some type. Sooo... waste their time by acting interested and asking lots of questions for an hour or so & then decline the product or service ;-))

Less funny & a little vindictive I know but, what the heck ;D
 

As soon as you hear the "How are you today" you say:
Hello....Helloooo, is anybody there... hellooooo.. hmm the phone rang.. hellooooo
while completely ignoring what ever is said by the caller.. It'; probably take them an hour to get their equipment checked...
 

Just tell them to hang on because someone is knocking at the door.
Then lay the phone down on the table.
You can safely hang it up in about a half hour or sooner if you hear
the warble tone. You know the one when you accidentally leave the
phone off the hook.

It keeps them in suspense. ;)
 

Being the nut that I am I have developed a spiel over time and adopt the tone of a penticostal preacher. Then I start into a ten minute sermon and before I can get even five minutes of the sermon delivered they hang up! That is if I am in a talkative mood. But being an old fart and somewhat insensitive to the plight of others, I usually just hang up. I think some call it old age cranky? Now I understand it. But since I am on the no call list, I don't get nearly as many soliciters as I once did. At one time a couple of years ago my phone rang constantly from about seven to nine o'clock. It got so bad I sometimes unplugged my phone during those hours. I especially hated the recorded ones that would say something like,"Please hold the line for an important message". Yeah, sure, did anyone ever fall for that? Don't tell me if you did! Monty
 

i always ask them what color panties are they wearing and do they like being spanked hard or soft and easy.........g
 

I almost always waste thier time. Depending on how I feel. Most of the time i'll let them go through thier whole sales pitch which usually lasts a while and then i'll cut in with "So, what are you wearing?". You would besurprised at how many of them actually answer.

;D thats on my list now!
 

I just lay the phone down and walk away........ties up their lines for a few minutes after then finally get the message and hang up. ;D
 

just tell them that you are a homicide detective and need all thier info because of the body here that you are invertigating or that you are a dea agent and are very interested in their call to a crack house
