Want To Have Some Fun With Pesky Telemarketers?
Try These Hilarious Tips!
1) Talk really fast.
2) Make up your own language. Speak it.
3) Make up a one-word language. Speak it.
4) Turn on the TV. Change the channel to one that only gets static. Turn the volume up really loud. Say that you can't hear them over the static.
5) Say, "This phone line is for emergency use only. Do you have an emergency?" If they say "Yes" say, "Please state the nature of the emergency." Then insist that their emergency isn't an emergency. If they say "No" say, "I'm sorry but this line is for emergencies only."
6) Pretend that you are a hostage negotiator, and try to get the telemarketer to release the hostages.
7) Order a large pepperoni pizza, some garlic bread, and a meatball sub.
8) Repeatedly dial the phone. Mutter that it isn't ringing.
9) Communicate only through Morse code.
10) Talk to the telemarketer. During the conversation dial the phone, and ask for Bill. Do this repeatedly.
11) Try to sell the telemarketer something.
12) Pretend to be an escaped mental patient. Mutter things like, "They'll never catch me again," "No! Not the jacket! No, no, no!" After saying one of these mutter incoherently.
13) Make him/her sing to get a sale. If a male sings, claim that he sounds like Britney Spears. If a female sings, claim that she sounds like Barry White.
14) Pretend to be really interested. Then say, "No."
15) Say nothing until he/she hangs up.
16) Ask the telemarketer for his/her home phone number. Claim that you need some time to think, and that you'll get back to them.
17) Say, "Yes" to whatever they are selling and hang up immediately afterwards.
