Grrrrrrrrr!!! Telemarketers Suck!

October 15, 2005 by Vixen 

To the telemarketers that call at all times of the day and night, irrespective to the fact that I’m on the National Do Not Call List. This is to you!

  1. Hang up the phone immediately. It’s rude, but highly effective.
  2. Remind them that I’m on the Do Not Call list. Threaten to call my lawyer if they don’t stop calling.
  3. Say, “Hold on a sec I have a call on the other line”. Put the phone off the hook and go do something else around the house. Eventually, they will hang up and you can put your phone back on the hook when it starts beeping.
  4. Talk to them and try to get them off script. Very fun if you  have time to kill
  5. Ask really ignorant questions even if they answered it already. Act really really stupid and then at the end of it, tell them you weren’t interested.
  6. Tell them the owner of the house is not home, you’re just petsitting.
  7. Hang up.
  8. Pretend to be interested in what they are selling, then start giving them the story of your life, the saddest sob story you can think of. Turn them into your therapist.
  9. Start crying hysterically on the phone, about how noone ever calls you and you are soooo depressed and are just glad that someone called and how much you love them and want to marry them and….you get my drift!
  10. Act like you are deaf and can’t hear a word. Have them repeat everything, OVER and Over again.
  11. Act like you no speak English! Create your own language

All in all, telemarketers can be a real pain in the ass. Hopefully these will give you some ideas to be a PIA right back.
