Telemarketer Hater, anyone?

Hmmm that gives me an idea...

next time a damn telemarketer call me again...

I WILL SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS INTO THE PHONE AND HANG UP!
 
Screaming would help ?

I usually report to:
https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

I noticed the number of telemarketers
have decreased with this donotcall service
because I heard that they will charge extra fines
to these marketers if they still continue
calling back again and again.

Screaming probably wouldn't help but it would be funny though. Great stress reliever, too. :D

Just arrived home from work and checking on AD and seeing this thread... now my day just got better! Let me try this: :lol: :laugh2: :rofl: :thumb: :giggle: :bowdown: :bowlol: to the angry voice... I'd check this thread all over anytime just to know the feeling I didn't have a horrible moment...
 
I just mess with them. I'll tell them I'm so glad they called my cat died and I'm a mess. Or I let me teen have at them. He'll ask them if they're hot and what they're wearing. Just anything stupid we can think of.

That is great to see your day gotta be better! :)

I did watch it few times...I thought real funny is flashed "I" as if caller was soooo angry when telemarket asked for few seconds.
 
I just start speaking in tongues when I get one of those calls. :) Actually, I only did that once. Oh, yeah and something I only did once as well.......I said, "Annie! Oh, you just can't believe how thrilled I am to be hearing from you after all these years; how the heck are you, do you remember the time........can we meet over coffee tomorrow night, etc...... ". Dead silence on the other end.......

I hardly ever get these kinds of calls anymore....but when I do, I just politely interject and tell the person that I'm not at all interested.

seeing it again for 4th time do made me smile... I ain't gonna worry about telemarketing anymore... i already registered for no call list... and beside I dont have a phone line in my apartments except my sidekick number... and when people call me, it go directly to my IP-relay number then it go directly to my email so they leave a message so I dont really care whoever call me... i know Telemarket rather to talk to soembody on the line not leaving a message so it's a win-win situation! :cheers: :cheers:
 
Use a police loudspeaker on the bullhorn you can buy at the store and scream into the telemarketer's ears then say F*ck You !!!! with a loud roar and hang up. That'll do it. He will never want to call again :rofl:

But then again that man who called has a job to do and she could have used better manners. I clearly can understand why people don't like telemarketers. Some people do like telemarketers and most don't like telemarketers. It really depends on the individual.
