Hilarious gag pulled on a telemarketer

I might have to try this one.

That was pretty funny.

Of course, with the no-call list, I don't think I've gotten a telemarketing call (except for election stuff) in a couple years.

 

funny.

but my time is worth more to me than to spend more than 3 seconds with a telemarketer. I just tell them I am not interest and ask not to be called again. Then I hang up.

 

I just hang up.

 

Oh, I'm sure somebody working for a politician will probably call in the next week!

 

And I'll hang up on politicians without comment.

 

Chances are the politican calls will be automated anyway, so you can't have fun with them.

Thank you, cell phone as the primary phone, for sparing me the headache. SUCK IT, TELEMARKETERS.

 

Better yet. I check Caller ID and if it says "Unavailable" or somesuch, fuggedaboutit. They'll get tired of ringing me in about 10 days.

 

Telemarketer: "Is Mr. or Mrs. Rossi in?"

Me: "This is Joe."

Telemarketer: "Hi, this is Blanche calling from Don's BBQ Ribs and Aluminum Siding, how are you today?"

Me: "I'm great, thanks for asking."

Whoever they ask for --even if it's me--I just say, sorry, he/she's not in.

And quite often there's a pause between the time you say hello and the time they start the spiel. Two seconds of silence and then I hang up.

 

That was damn funny...sounds like a Bob and Tom clip.

 

I got a Comcast CSR pretty good the other night, and i don't have cable. She called my number by mistake, and I kept her on the phone for about 30 minutes.

She'd try to end the conversation, and I'd kick in with my "hillbilly-on-disability" act, and bore her with tales of how I can't miss my "stories," and if I did, it'd "get my blood pressure up," etc.

My wife was in tears.
