you should be as rude as you fancy. anyone who gets a job like that deserve abuse! i particularly like telling them my doorbell has gone off and leaving them hanging on the phone. my record so far is over 2 minutes of waiting time! also, for doorsteppers i just tell them to fcuk off and shut the door in their face...but i do remember after i'd had quite a lot to drink the night before (and was still very tipsy) i started to strip off for some jw's who wouldn't take no for an answer (dad, mum, kids and granny looked quite shocked!). noone has the right to disturb your peace and quiet x
When you receive that phone call ...try this.
1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.
2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "I’m so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems. My arthritis is acting up, my back is killing me, my dog just died . . . "
3. If they say they’re John Smith from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they got into this line of work if they are married, how many kids they have, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.
4. This works great if you are male. Telemarketer: "Hi, my name is Judy and I’m with XYZ Company. " You: Wait for a second and with a real husky voice ask, "What are you wearing?"
5. Cry out in surprise, "Judy? Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you from.
6. Say "No" over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This is most fun if you can do it until they hang up.
7. If BT calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, "I don’t have any friends, would you be my friend?"
8. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood? Can you get out goat blood? How about human blood?"
9. After the Telemarketer gives his or her spiel, ask him or her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you can’t just give your credit card number to a complete stranger.
10. Tell the Telemarketer that you work for the same company, and they can’t sell to employees.
