Tantrum Tuesday - Telemarketers
Well, getting calls from a telemarketer is one of the most frustrating things ever! They always seem to call at the worst times or call several times a day. Even when you tell them to take you off the do not call list, they never do or they sell your number to some other marketing company.
So what can you do about this?! Well, you may not be able to get them to stop calling, but perhaps you can have some fun... So here are some things you can do do get a laugh when they do call.
So what can you do about this?! Well, you may not be able to get them to stop calling, but perhaps you can have some fun... So here are some things you can do do get a laugh when they do call.
- Interrupt the caller and tell them "Boy do I have a deal for you" Then proceed to try and sell them something. Could be something you actually sell or just make something up.
- Answer the phone and speak gibberish. Pretend to speak some other language.
- When they ask for someone, tell them they aren't there and make up some crazy story like they were attacked by a shark and are in intensive care.
- Ask them if you can put them on hold for a minute because you have another telemarketer on the other line. Then put them on hold for 10 mins. If they are there when you get back, just say you aren't interested and hang up.
- When they ask for someone say: "Mr. ________ is happy to speak to you. His billing rate is $500 per hour. If you'll give me your credit card number now, I'll book a time slot just for you."
- Pick up and say "Nice to hear from you! I'm fundraising on behalf of ' Kanye for President.' Can I count on you for a donation?
- Pick up and say "I've been thinking about breaking into phone sales myself. Can you tell me how you got started?"
- Tell them "You're the hundredth caller today. You win a special prize. Hold on for just 30 minutes and I'll get it for you."
- Tell them "Oh so glad you called. There is a Nigerian prince who left me $10 million. I need to send a bank account # to collect. If you give me yours, we can split it."
- Answer and just keep saying ''hello?'' while they try to talk.
- Sound all choked up and tell them you just filed bankruptcy.
- Make farting noises every time they try to talk until they give up.
- Tell them you are glad they called since you are having a problem. Tell them you are bleeding from your rectum and ask them what you should do.
- Pick up the phone and just start dialing numbers then proceed like you are making a phone call.
- Pretend to know them and talk about old times.
