How to get rid of a telemarketer

[Tongue_Me]

Just the other night when I sat down for the first time all day (I leave at 7 and get home at 7 most evenings) and the phone rings. I think stupidly that it might be my mother or a friend but who is it? Some effing wanker trying to sell me something I don't want or need but insists that I do want and need. I basically got to the end of my last nerve and blurted out "fuck off" and put the reciever down. I felt bad afterwards because the guy was just doing his job but also I felt a strange sense of release and was actually quite pleased with myself for not letting them talk me into buying more crap that I don't need or want.

Since we seem to be attacking telemarketers this evening, I thought it would be only courteous of me to resurrect this thread.

You're welcome!

My favorite is the vinyl siding calls. I wait until they tell me all about the great deals they can provide, then I break down in tears and ask them how cruel can they be... how dare they call me the day after my house burnt to the ground, and how did they get the number of this pay phone anyway? Didn't they know I had no insurance and was forced to live outta my car?

Usually they stutter and hang up.

Or I pretend I'm not the person they're calling for, but rather the lover and he can't come to the phone at the moment because he's got his mouth full... every couple of words I moan or make some other sound of passion... Some of them love the phone sex....

I nice toot from my air horn usually does the trick

I laughed out loud to this one....

When I got them I would usually cough a lot and tell them that I appreciate their offer but seeing as how I have terminal folicular (as in hair) cancer I won't actually be needing their services.....

Usually I hang up on telemarketers. Sorry, I know they're doing their jobs, I just can't wait precious time
