prathapml Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 10 Ways To Annoy Telemarketers:10. When they ask "How are you today?" Tell them! "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 eyelashes are sore, my dog just died..." (I did this one.. they finally hung up on me!!!) 9. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Comp. Ask them to spell their name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary. 8.Cry out in surprise "Judy! Is that you? Oh my gosh! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few breif moments of pause as she tries to figure out where she could know you from. 7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the family and friends plan, reply, in as SINISTER voice as you can, "I don't have any friends...would you be my friend?" 6. If they want to loan you some money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and could use some money. (Did this one also.. they hung up REAL fast!!) 5.Tell the telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they can send you a case of beer and some chips. 4. After the telemarketer gives their spiel ask him/her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your credit card number to a complete stranger. 3. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask them if they can give you their HOME phone number so that you can call them back. When the Telemarketer explains that they cannot give out their HOME phone number, say "I guess you dont want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The telemarketer will agree and you will say "I guess you know how I feel!" say good bye-and hang up. (My favorite... they are left speechless!!!) 2. Insist the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on Leon cut it out! Seriously Leon, How's your mom?" And first and foremost: 1. Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
