Do you guys mess with telemarketers when they call you? I get about 2-3 calls every day trying to sell me something.

Just a minute ago some telemarketer called in and just didn't understand that I'm not interested. She insisted on calling back and asked who she should ask for. I said "anyone" and she asked me to spell it :dunno: I spelled a-n-y-o-n-e and she then confirmed the spelling :wtf:

That's all the amusement I've had at work all day

Telemarketing was my first job. Paid good at the time but dealt with people like you all day long.

Usually I know when they're calling. There's always a long pause at the beginning when I pick up so I let them say hello first like 5 seconds later. I just hit mute and they hang up. No hassle. :thumbup:

I actually talk to them sometimes and have fun with them. They sometimes really get into their 5 minute long pitches, so I let them finish and then tell them I'm not interested. My reasons include, I was just having sex, it's cloudy outside, my goldfish died today, I have an itch I have to get to....

I also tried telemarketing for 2 weeks and it was the most fun I've ever had with a phone (never tried phonesex though ). People used to cuss me out and I'd just stay on the line and laugh, or they'd hang up and I'd call back just so I can hang up on them. People used to tell me to call the next whorehouse on my list and stuff like that.

:rofl: at the memories.

telemarketers suck, but they are people just tryin to make a living so i always say no thanks, if they keep going i just hang up.
