Being mean to telemarketers is sooo much FUN!
They drive you insane, and half the time you just hang up. but why not have some fun first?
Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "C'mon Leon, cut it out! Seriously Leon, how's your mom?"
After each question they ask you say "no" ... for example ... are you the owner of the house? "no" can I speak with the owner please? "no" do you know a good time to call back? "no" ... so on and so forth.
When you know it's a telemarketer scream "What?! You weren�t supposed to get out of jail for another month!" scream hysterically again and hang up.
Say in your most business-like, STRAIGHT-FACED voice "Butler County Sperm Bank, you make it, we pack it! This is (your name), how can I help you?"
After the telemarketer tells you about their product you ask, "You want me to pay money for that?"
If they are selling long distance just keep saying hello?..hello?....hello?....darn this (whatever long distance company they are from), service isn't worth a hoot.
Cry out in surprise, "Judy, IS that you? Oh my God Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where the heck she could know you from.
After they tell you the product they're selling, ask them if it comes with a free blender. If they say no, tell them that you won't buy from them without a free blender, and hang up.
Say in perfect English, "I don't speak English, sorry"
Telemarketer: Hello, is (person's name) there?
(now be silents for a few sceonds)
You say: (whisper) 7 days.
(Then hang up!)
Wait for the telemarketer to go half way through his discription and say: "I lowered my cholesterol!"
When they ask if you wanna buy "blahblah", just say (very pleasently), "No thanks...I already have a penguin!" and hang up
If they ask,"Is your blah blah home?" respond with," They said they're not here."
Intterupt the telemarketer saying "Hey um, can you give me your rates and the rates of three of your competitors?...you know, I don't want to pay too much."
Ask what the survey is about. No matter what they say, just say, "Oh, I see how it is. Oh Yeah, I see whats going on." then yell "YOU JUST WANT ME TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS TO YOU CAN GET ME IN BED. GUESS WHAT. ITS NOT WORKING THIS TIME!!!"
"I'm sorry. The person you have asked for has currently been eaten by a bear." If they laugh tell them "It isn't funny, it was very tragic". If they're like oh, I'm sorry. say, "yes it was very tragic..."
You: Your goats in my garden
Telemarketer: I don't have a goat
You: Good cause I don't have a garden
