Category: Let's talk
Okay we hate'em they drive us absolutely nuts pissing us off calling every damn minute of the day. Well I know some us got tired and decided to get back at them. Well let's hear some stories folks.
Right guess I'm going to have to be the first one to start this off. Alright then here goes. One time a telemarketer person called me up wanting to sale something to me. Well anyways I acted like I was really interested and asked alot questions about the product and this went on for let's say ten minutes or so. Then I got to a point where I told him that I needed to think about then I'd call back. Anyways I asked for the number but I told the person I had to go get some paper and a pen to jot it down on. Well instead of looking for the paper and pen I straight up hung up on them.
You know you can put your number on the black list right? after a month, it's illegal for telemarketers to call you. I don't remember the number but you can google for it.
ahh. well a window salesman called. i gave this whole schpeel about not needing windows. He asks what type of house i lived in with no windows. I replied, adobe. lol
I had an Indian gentleman call me up once trying to interest me in life insurance. He rabbited on for about 5 minutes or so, frankly I didn't listen to much of what he had to say, but the up shot was that, in the event of my death, I'd get £100000. So I promply asked him to explain to me exactly what I'd do with £100000 once I was dead.
The one and only time I've made a tellymarketter laugh!
Of course I should just add by way of a footnote to this story that I perfectly understood that he meant my estate would recieve £100000 in the event of my death, not me. However that wasn't what he said so I had my fun! lol.
well, I've had some fun with one or two, or more. lol. my favorite experience however was when I had a chick call me, and I thought I'd have some fun. I told this woman, whatever "I can't speak english" or something like that. Next thing I know, they send me to a spanish speaking person. I wasn't expecting this, so I said that I didn't understand spanish. So, back and forth from the english speaker, and the spanish speaker. It was funny as fuck!
another good one, was when i had one of them on the phone for more than a half-hour. I pretended to be interested, but then I decided that I was bored, so I started saying sexually suggestive things. the first time, and only time, a telemarketer hung up on me!
Y'all are cool for being able to trick the telemarketers like that. *smile* The only funny experience I've had with what I think was a telemarketer, was this one time, when I had a lady call me saying that I'd won the keys to a motorcycle, and that if I listened to a certain radio station I'd just have to listen for my name to know when to pick it up. She had asked me some questions and then told me about the motorcycle., to which I responded that I was blind and couldn't drive a motorcycle. I think she was stuck for a few seconds and then said that I could give the motorcycle to someone else, then explained about the listening to the radio station.... I later learned that that station did have a contest that awarded keys to a motorcycle, but, (1) you're supposed to call them, and (2) I was only 18 at the time the lady called me and the rules were that you must be 21 or older. It sucked at the time that the lady had lied to me, but now it's pretty funny. *smile*
Another time, my 10- (then 9-year-old) nephew answered the phone and the recording instructed the answerer to press a certain number if they were interested in learning more about the product/service they were advertising. SO my nephew pressed it, and the hold music came on. It was that softrock/jazz music, and He liked it so much that he was disappointed when I asked him for the phone and hung it up a few seconds later. We didn't get to talk to anyone, sut we almost would have had to. But it was kind of cute, the fact that he did not understand the whole point of why they were calling, and that he only wanted to stay on the line because he liked the music they had. *smile*
I use to work in telemarketing but quit because I wasn't a faithful one. Anyways some guy called me trying to get me to donate to the state patrol, well this went on for a few weeks and finally I got rid of them making up some sob story about me being poor and not having enough money. Then a friend of mine would make sexual remarks like "hold on I'm having sex." then he's say ok what did you say about windows?

I have a speaker phone and whenever those darn telemarketers call, I pretend to be very enthusiastic and interested about the topic, then say, "oh, please hold a minute while I think about it". I then flick on the speaker phone, carry out my business and chuckle as I listen to the dude shifting around, or sighing or whatever, and to see how long it'll be until the guy hangs up. Once somebody waited for half an hour! Good grief...
Well, before we had the do not call list in the states, People would call asking if I wanted to get a newspaper or magazine subscription. I'd answer with "Gee I'd like that but I can't see and Can't read good." I think the meanest thing I ever did was to a company that sold lightbulbs. They said the prophits would benefit "the blind." I told the poor person that I'd love to buy the lightbulbs and hlep out, especially because I was blind too. I asked them to explain what light was. The person was on the phone for ten minutes trying and finally said "Well, uh, we've sold lightbulbs to blind people before. You have a nice day."
LOLOLOL
I made a telemarketer hang up on me by just being polite. A telemarketer called me at my dad's house, and asked to speak with him. I said that "Mr. G." wasn't home.
"O, really? Are you Mrs. G.?"
"No, I am not."
"Would you be interested in--"
"I'm sorry, you'd better speak with Mr. G. and he's not in right now."
"Well, would he be--"
"I'm sorry, sir, but you'd really better talk with Mr. G."
"What's with this sir stuff?"
And he hung up on me.
Mine's not funny, but when I used to live at my parents house, I had my own line. Well the number was listed oin the phone book under my mom's name, but she never used the line. So of corse when they would call my line asking for my mom, I would say "No, she does not live here. And they'd say something like is this (XXX), XXX-XXXX? I'd say yes, but she's not here. Then they'd ask does this line belong to Ida XXXXXXX? I'd like wel you're gonna have ti try the other line to reach her. I of corse never gave them the other number. THat happend only once. Usually the telimarketer would just say OKay about her not being there and hang up.
That happend to me before to man. I was living at home for awhile looking for a p;ace to stay when I moved back Austin TX. Well I had my own line just like you. Well these telemarketers of all different area codes started calling for my dad or mom
I basically told them that neither of them lived here and here they go telling me apparently they do since you live at the same address as they do. Well I told them to keep trying the other number and to quit calling me because this isn't their house phoneline.
Of course I find another place to live and them exact same fuckers keep calling me. I cuss'em out every once in awhile when i'm in the mood to.
lol...
I love hanging up on telemarketers just when there getting right in the middle of the speech about whatever there trying to sell. It's like "Hello" "Yes, hello" "I was wondering if you'd like our new product, etc, etc" and right in the middle of a word click. It works every time. The same telemarketers never call twice *smiles*
Well the ones that call me all the time are abso-fucking-lutely persistant little bastards. hahahahaha
