Subject: What do you say to telemarketers/door to door salesmen?

Rabid

I hate telemarketers, as they usually call during dinner. It Australia the majority I get are Indians. One thing I do is act extremely interested and then blatantly shut them down and hang up. Another thing I do is scream into a megaphone right into the phone.

I have never really had to deal with door to door sales men, as I don't live in a town/city, but I did have one instance where a middle age woman came to my house in an effort to sell me "dolls". She showed me the boot of her car, and their were about 20-25 different kinds of dolls,probably handmade. I just said no thanks.

So Flood, have you had any instances with telemarketers/door to door salesmen, and if so, how did you/how do you deal with them?

I never answer strange numbers and people very rarely come to my house.

Antel, or Concortion. Either way, I'd like to think I'm a nice guy who is nice to people.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I haven't had any real telemarketers in a long time. Just robo calls that I never answer.

The last "door to door" salesman type thing we had was the Jehovah's Witnesses, who apparently thought I looked like I was 15 or so(was 22 at the time) and asked if I had a parent home. I said no and they went away.

Never had a door-to-door salesmen around hear, and as far as telemarketers go, nothing; they're all robots these days.

I ask telemarketers their personal number and see if they'd like to be called at 8 pm every day.

  • 12.31.2012 2:59 PM PDT

Lurking these forums, rest assured that I'm silently judging you.

At least until Destiny.

I tell the telemarketers that I don't have a phone, so I can't speak with them and hang up.

I yell at people going door-to-door, this:

"Chocolate ? Did you say, CHOCOLATE ? CHAWCLIT ! CHAWCLITT !!"

Then I run after them. It slaps me on the knee.
