I don't like telemarketers, well i'm sure the real people are nice, but they sure get annoying.

One time a telemarketer called for ME, I'm 15 and they asked me if I wanted to increase the money on my credit card or something... I don't even have a credit card. So I asked them if they could give me cash instead.

come on!!!!!
Whenever any salesperson calls me it goes like this:
ring.....
ring.....

me:hello?
person:Hi, I'm here to tell about blah blah blah blah
me(after listening to them talk for the 10 minutes or whatever it takes): Oh, can you repeat that, I really didn't catch much of it?
person: Blah blah blah
me: I son't listen to telemarkers.
slam!!!

You gotta toy with 'em. Punish them for their evil during dinner calls (it never fails). I'm cruel........

I love going off on made up "personal" stories. I'll talk about "my' experiences in Vietnam(I'm 17 :p) and just won't let them talk. It's amazing how many of those idiots will stay on the line while you talk.

They want to sell you something. They'll listen to any bull you tell them if they think it means you might have a chance at buying something.

I'm only 15 and some telemarketer called when my family was gone. So they asked for one of my parents.

I said, "No, this is the neighbor speaking. I'm currently having an affair with his wife now, so call back later. "

Once I said "No, this is the neighbor speaking. I'm robbing their house now, so call back later."

If you want to get back at them good, say, hang on one minute, I have to get the pizza out of the oven before it burns. Set the phone on the table, and come back about a half hour later. It must be really annoying for them.

One time I just said in a really friendly tone, "Hold on, I think I have an idea. Ok, lets play the quiet game, I bet you I can win!"

"but wait...."

Interupts

"3...2....1...go"


"Sir, I don't have time for this"

"Then I dont' have time for you"

"Fine, I'll play."

"I won't, that's such a -blam!- ass game. What kind of loser would want to play that? I'm not buying anything from you."

"WTF"

"Bye"

click.

Probably sounds dumb, but I was with friends, and it was pretty funny.

One time I was at my friend's house and a telemarketer called and asked for "Kyle's" mom. (Whos name is Karen). She asked "Is Cabin there?" (She had an accent). I answered back, no no cabin's here, just shacks. Then she said "No! Cabin..." I saw, "Oh! Karen!, why didn't you say so?" Then I put the phone close to my mouth and yell "MAAAAHHHM!?!" Then I act like I give the phone to someone elese, who is me. I start up a conversation about life and her name and we actually got far into the conversation.

The best is when you start asking them questions, such as...

"What's your name?"
"Where do you live?"
"How old are you?"
"How much do you get paid?"
"What do you do with the money?"
"Do you have an imaginary friend?"
"What's his name?"
and so on...

if they refuse to answer a question, "You sure aren't very friendly; I don't believe I want to talk to you anymore." (hangs up)
