haha. me thinks he was having a bad day.

[Souichiro]

lame..... use their stuff against them is much more fun!

[Hagar]

He'll do himself a mischief carrying on like that. LOL

Instead of getting his bowels in an uproar all he had to do was hang up. Better still, walk away & let the idiot talk to himself.

When those telemarketeers call me two things can happen. I stay friendly telling them I am not interested in their product and hang up. The other thing that can happen is that I let them rattle on about how good their mortgage/insurance/phone company/aluminium windowframes are then hang up in the middle of a sentence without saying anything. Problem is that they keep calling. Anybody know a solution?

Anybody know a solution?

I'm ex-directory & also opted not to be listed on the public electoral roll. I only discovered this was possible a short time ago*.
*Here's the details for UK residents. http://www.192.com/general/electoralroll.cfm

BT also advised me to register with the TPS. http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/what/

I haven't been bothered by these nuisance calls since (touch wood & whistle).

PS. I must now do something about all that junk mail. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5294708.stm

i think the geordie in that phone call had the perfect solution

[Sytse]

LMAO! That was one p***ed off guy!  ;D

Some solutions:

- Tell them they'd better talk to your dad. Wait a few seconds, then then pick up the phone again and do your best impression of Bert and Ernie.

- Let them finish their story and then say that you didn't understand it. Repeat this over and over. If they ask you what exactly you don't understand, tell them "everything!" in a hysterical tone.

- Sing a song. When they stop talking, ask them to (please) continue and continue singing yourself.

- What I always do: Make it look like you're extremely interested in their offers. When they "pop the big question" ask them to explain further what your benefits exactly are. Keep trying to make up as much questions as you can on the subject, preferrably, questions that the telemarketeer has to look up or can't answer at all. (This method is only suitable if you have some spare time  ;) )

I used to use my baritone/trombone/trumpet to blast there ever living ears out......

I was drunk once and one of those people phoned me so i tried to do the most retarded voice i could and started asking them if they where "uncle Frank" and basically skull fucking them until they put the phone down on me. You have to remember, these people have nothing you want, otherwise you would laready have it, so have some fun with them, because you don't know them and probably wont ever meet them, unless you wanna put the phone down, act like a mentally challenged person and really make them work for their money

I told the last telemarketer this, "I'm sorry, but Mr. So and So cannot come to the phone. You see he was a telemarketer and I found out where he lived. I just murdered him. Now could you please tell me what company you work for again." The telemarketer for some strange reason just hung up....

[Alonso]

Ohhhh my God!!!! Never heard such a pissed guy on the phone...

Great one!!

[Theis]

I just speak lower and lower, until I scream GOODBYE into the phone and hungs up!!

[Akula.]

As soon as you pick up say "mee no speeaky eenglish" and hang up
