When I get a call and they start talking, I ask if this is a sales call, and when they answer (9 times out of 10 it is) I say I'm not interested and hang up.

I love the 22 minutes one! have wanted to tell that to customers when i was working at a call center!

[Fandango 1,439]

which one is that???

[Fuzzness 2]

the last one

the second one is good too. to that customer who is acting like a child, i would say... ever heard of BACKUP? most companies that have important files have backup.

oh my god i've heard all of these things before!

Since I've been on the do-not-call list I hardly ever get telemarketing calls. But what's supposed to hurt them the most is this: once you've determined it's a telemarketing call, you say "Just a minute, I'll be right back". Then set the phone down and walk away. Check it in ten minutes, if he's still there tell him BRB again. This costs the telemarketing company money because the caller isn't calling someone else, he's stuck waiting for you. They know only 1 or 2 percent of calls are successful, so if you're not gonna buy they want to move on to the next.

done that a few times, cause i'm on the no call list. i still get calls from the sherrif's department wanting contributions. i of course ask them if they will erase that warrant for my arrest or my ________ (pick a number) speeding tickets

when someone calls wanting to sell me something, i usually get from them their name, company, etc, and then ask if they are profit or non profit. if profit, they are in deep doo doo, hello state attorney general!

just a suggestion i once pulled on a credit agency before i was on the no call list.....they wanted to give me a loan, i said great, cause i just jumped bail and need a bunch of cash. the silence was golden.

when i was dating a gal from arkansas, someone called and wanted to get her to contribute to some veteran's group. she just handed the phone to me....and i asked him if he ever served his country. he made the mistake of saying no.....

it went downhill real quick from there, as i informed him that as a retired member of the us military, i found it rather odd that this organization he was representing did not see fit to employ veteran's, and after about 5 min he was quite happy to end the phone call

although some will probably scortch me for the above, that's fine. after all, it's my home and my privacy. and i value such highly and don't enjoy being disturbed (which reminds me, i need to put out the "soliciters will be taken under fire" sign)
