Dealing With Telemarketers

I've found what I think is the best way to deal with telemarketers, its rude, but it works, when they start their speal, and you realize its a telemarketer, just hang up the phone, they're trained to deal with, when you say,****I'm not interested****, so just hang up.

Man, you hit a nerve with me there. I hate them. If I walk into a store, I guess I'm fair game for a sales pitch. However people need permission to enter my house. Who's phone is it? I didn't invite them in! If they were paying my phone bill, then fine. It just pisses me off royally & I do hang up among other things. Depends on the mood I'm in.

1. When you figure out it's a telemarketer, say just a minute. Put the phone down on the table & time it to see how long it takes to hear the beep beep for phone off the hook! I do that from time to time, depending on how I feel. I've had them go 1 hour & 10 minutes before.

2. Say just a minute & had the phone to my 2 1/2 year old Grandson. He likes to tell stories on the phone.

3. Say I don't work, own a house, own a car, or a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of!!! This one has backfired on me though. A couple of them have felt sad for me a offered me a job as a (you guessed it) a telemarketer!!! Go Figure!!!

Those are cool Auby, if you've got the time to waste with them.

if you have a 3 or 4 year old let them talk to the telemarketer.


there is this guy who fVcks w/telemarketers and then sells cds of his conversations w/ said telemarketers.

the one i read about is hilarious.

phone rings and he picks it up, it is a telemarketer he asks if the person on the phone can hold someone is at his door. he answer the door and it is christmas carolers and then you hear shotgun blasts followed by murderous shrieks. he then comes back to the phone and asks the telemarkter if the credit card protection which would make your payments while unemployed would also cover while you are incarcerated.

That's what my wife does as well. She'll go on & on with them. She says it wastes more of there time. Me, I don't want to talk with them that long. But this is a woman that will bite your head off if you ask her something during one of her programs. Phone rings during the same show & she'll listen to the whole pitch.

Yea, when one of them offered me a job after abusing them, I almost blew snot laughing as I hung up. Man the balls!!

Yeah, those are all assuming you feel like spending the minute or two to fvck with them, true. It's usually worth it to me, getting enough of a kick out of it.

I would have laughed my ass off if they'd offered me a job as a telemarketer, too, RC. That's hilarious. Think I'd rather wipe my arse with steel wool than do that for a job.

Nope you are so wrong. The best way to deal with them is say, "Hold on one second, there is someone at the door." Set the phone down and let it sit there, most telemarketers are paid on commission. When you make them wait about 15-20m, say "I'm not interested and remove this number from your list and all lists you distribute" THEN hang up it's much happier for you and really fscks their numbers up and they generally DO remove you from the list then because they dont want to call back and get the same treatment.

a while back I had a company call me 4 nights in a row trying to sell me new windows. Eventually i cracked and asked could they send someone over to give me a quote for a new conservatory. I stated i didn't want any pressure sales hype just a quote. I could just imagine the look of glee on her face. When the salesman arrived I let him in and offered him a drink. He declined and was looking somewhat concerned as he read his notes. "there seems to have been an appointment mistake" he said "why" replied I. "well you have asked for a quote for a conservatory" "and" "well we can't do one as you live 3 floors up" "well stop calling"

the truth about that acutally is that if you ask them to take you off the list they cant call you for 7 yrs. after that 7 they can call you again.

Phone and Cable Co's are the only telemarketers that call me.
I have all the phone $hit I need. The wife will not let me have cable TV.

We got a new local TV station in the spring that I can get on my rabbit ears antenna. I got a boner when I found out I can tune it in without interference.

I rent alot of DVD's. Good thing the movie rental place is across the street.

I haven't seen them around here yet.
Although I haven't look for them.
I've heard about them. I recall something about Disney the first to come out with the disposable DVD.

I figure the MPIAA is like the RIAA. They charge too much for their product. I don't know how they can get away with charging $30 for a DVD. If they charged between $10 and $15 for new release movies I would probably buy them instead of renting them for $5.
