Does anyone feel bad for treating telemarketers like crap?

[Ex-Member]

had a cell for the last 7 years , not one telemarketers.

Same, don't get any now. Kind of miss it at times.

I had one guy in tears several years ago... he called to sell me windows and I went off on him for trying to sell me windows when I had no windows in my house. I was screaming at him, just letting him have it making him feel real inconsiderate for it.

He apologized profusely, said he never meant to offend anyone, etc etc... "Sir, will you please calm down I'm very sorry you don't have windows, I didn't know".... my parents were real confused but I laughed real hard after we hung up.

Making grunting/splashing/fappy/flushy sounds is amusing as well

I usually just hang up on them or put them on hold and see how long they'll sit on hold waiting. Some of those people are very patient.

Would you rather sit on hold for a half hour in silence, or hang up, dial again, and risk getting Nate and his fog horn! HAHAHA!

I was a telemarketer and I was not on drugs nor a slut. Still not for either. Anyhow, I was desperate for a summer job, lasted 3 days. I know how they feel so I politely interrupt them and say I appreciate you have a job to do, but so do I and right now I'm not interested, then hang up.

Funny story: I call this number and a little boy answers. I ask for his dad, he yells "dad, phone". I hear day say "who is it", so the kid asks me. I say what I'm supposed to: This is Kathi calling on behalf of the Vietnam Veterans Association of America. He yells "dad, it's Kathi of America". I was laughing so hard when the dad got on the phone he hung up.

I still laugh thinking about that. Hey, I should have used that as my username.

Me neither!

The person talking to you is just doing their job. I don't answer out of area calls or ones I see and don't want to talk to so it's not a issue.

I try treating people the way I would like to be treated.

I had this ***ger call at work wanting to sell light bulbs so I screwed with him for a while, "ohh shoot you just missed it, I bought a whole truckload last week, do you have plungers, I have 87 restrooms and each one has 8 stalls and there's some nasty mothers that work here, say have you ever seen what some of these people drop and plug a crapper with? I then went into some fairly graphic details of nasty crap" (and asked for his email address so I could send him pics of what I had to deal with) I could barely talk and some of the people around the office were laughing so hard. I told this guy that I needed some serious industrial strength plungers, and wanted a quote for about 300 of them I told him to call back and ask for Sir Thomas Crapper and he said he would get all over it. Last time I heard from those dillweeds.

Its not bad when they call... but when the dont understand the word "NO" is a problem!

 

[catssuk]

i just started playing "im just a very horny old dude, that hasnt got it in a vvvvveeeeerrrrryyyyyy long time,will you be my f_ckbuddy," and im very specifect on the nasty details[ backdoor action, etc] and after, about 5-8 mins of my very nasty, what i will do to them in the sack, if they were with me... they hang up on me every time. i havent had a telemarketer call me back now for over 2 years.

Aren't they NOT allowed to hang up on you though?

I remember the Seinfeld episode...good stuff.

Hold the phone to your ***, fart and say does that answer your question?

 

[Blisteringsnorider]

[Kong]

Hmm, I have a few videos of people vomiting, maybe I should crank those up next time I get a call...
