What's Your Favorite Line to Give Telemarketers?

If a telemarketer manages to get through to you, nothing is more satisfying than this:

"Oops, there's a call on the other line. Just a moment please."

*hang up*

 

*ROTFL* I don't think I'm brave enough to say some of this stuff. Angry telemarketers=Run!!!!!!

 

Anything from The Phonebooth Soundboard works good.

 

This is what I do.


TM: Hellow are you intrested in buying blah blah blah???

Me: Uhh what kind of blah blah blah???
*Gives phone to little sister*
*Sister thinks it is Grandparents*
Sister: By by I love you!!!

*click*


Another one.


TM: Hellow are you intrested in buying blah blah blah???
Me: Uhh what kind of blah blah blah???
tm: Well blah blah blah
Me: Oh I see.
*Picks up blow horn*

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dang it, Robal_Krahl, I was thinking of the same thing.

great minds, Baron, great minds

one of my faves:

TM: hello, are you ntersted in whatever?
ME: oh yea, sounds good to me
(Friend in background): okay, keep him on the line for two more minutes, and we'll have the location.

havent tried that one yet, but i plan too

 

I wait for them to start their pitch, then hang up.

 

"You have a great deal. But I've got a better one. How about, I give you the finger and you give me my phone call?"

 

I am on the Do not call list for NY. Havent had a call in three years. I love it.

 

Get a real job!

 

TM: (very fast) Hello sir, this is ATT Wireless..

ME: [interupting] Slow down, I can't understand you.

TM: (fast) This is ATT Wire...

ME: [interupting] Sloooww down.

TM: (normal) This...

ME: [interupting again] SLOWER!

TM: (slow) This is AT and T Wireless....

ME: Could you speak up? I can harldy hear you.


*click*



TM: This is ATT Wirless with a new phone service plan, etc.

ME: Why would I want one of them!? I don't even have a phone!

Then you hang up.

Also, try picking up and cross-selling some offers of your own.

 

I just usually say "Lo siento, pero el tiene un numero equivocado" then hang up before they can start speaking Spanish. If they call back again (brave souls, they are), I usually just speak in a different accent.

 

I ask them "What color panties are you wearing?"

 

Lines?

I just kill them.

I used German, but then I signed up for the PA Do Not Call List.

The best, though, was when I had the Swedish Chef on my answering machine. It played 30 seconds of him singing and making chocolate mousse before the beep. My friends knew the deal, but once there was about three seconds of silence, followed by "Hi. I'm... trying to reach... uh..." *click*

 

Everything you need to know

 

I usually inform them that their calling only serves to make people like myself really mad, and when we get really mad we tend to find the source of whats making us mad and we break it.

 

Well most peopleronounce my name wrong so I just say no so and so doesn't live here. But most of the time I just hang up, soemtimes I come up with stupid things to say like "oh well isn't that nice I don't want it" or "not today but don't ever call me again" I speak like 8 different languages though (not fluently) so sometimes I'll just start jabbering in one of those till they hand up. It's funny one time I was speaking english french and spanish. I'd go on for a sentence in english, then in spanish and it was really funny.

 

I like to blast Pillows music into the phone and cuss them out in Japanese its FUN!!!

 

I don't do anything special, I give a few responses to get them into their spiel then I put the phone down, I don't hang up mind you, just put the phone down.

 

I don't have one. A telemarketer hasn't called my house in years since my mom has something set up with the phone company to block them.

 

I put on a phone sex voice and take it from there. The older ones are a bit taken back, but the younger ones get a kick out of it until I start getting kinky with what I'm telling them.

 

"Hello, is this Pizza Hut? May I order?"

 

Another thing I do is scream "LUNCHTIME!!!!!!!!!!" into the phone (Furi Kuri fans'll get it). Then I hang up.

 

I love screwing around with telemarketers.

I usually give them the drive through act, just start ordering food, and yelling at them when they try to interrupt me, Jack Black style "Shut Up and take my Order!". Another favorite of mine is the wake act "For Christ's sake, we're in the middle of a wake here... Are you people dead inside?!".

 

If I'm feeling adventerous, I have been known on occasion, to sing songs at the top of my lungs.

Its kinda funny to hear their reactions to "Walk this Way", or "It's so Easy"
