Ways to annoy telemarketers - take it with a pinch of salt

Have you not been on the receiving end of people who you dont knwo calling you up with you credit details ...list and more list sucked out of insurance agencies and telecommunication companies. Well I have had my fair share of it and here are some way to blow them off politely/rudely (read it with humour)


1. If they have a survey, answer "56" to every question. EVERY question.
2. If they ask for a certain person say "THEY MOVED TO NEPTUNE!"
3. If they want a money donation say "Yes, I'd LOVE to give you a hundred gazzillion dollars... but I don't have any money!"
4. Pretend to be "a little slow" (answer "huh?" or "I don't get it" to everything).
5. If all else fails, simply say "I DON'T LIKE YOU" and hang up. I know this sucks but you read it so you suck too.
6. Ask "Why" after every question.
7. Try to sell something back to them.
8. Tell them you have a gun to your head and are going to pull the trigger if they hang up, and ask for their name and company.(Make sure you talk in a soft and disturbed voice)Tell them that they have to talk you out of it.
9. Get on ur computer (if you have windows XP) and go to sounds. Then go to voice. Then a thing that reads, "i am microsoft sam your computer animated voice" (or something like that)and type in anything you want and press listen. It will talk back in a wierd voice. Place the phone with the telemarketer up to the speaker and type away.
10. Just act like you are in the middle of sex and ask them to continue becaue you arent busy and keep them on the phone as long as possible making the wierdest noises you can and any thing else that is funny.
