Social \ Telemarketers Revenge
Kudos: 500

I have turned the tables on the telemarketers. The latest offer is for holidays. The game: To get the telemarketer to hang up. The rules: No foul language, no nastiness just being extra nice and learning how to talk over them better than they can talk over you. My record is 2min 5 sec. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or can anyone offer better times?

I don't even talk to telemarketers, if it takes you more than 2 seconds to answer to 'Hello?' I hang up on you.

I use the old:
"To speak to (Place name here) press one, to speak to (Place Name here) press two, etc, etc..."
When they press the button, don't say anything.. They hang up in no time 
!
I just say 'Not interested' and hang up. I hate telemarketers. 
There's got to be a bette way for people to make a living. A job who's employee's aren't so hated.

The best excuse can only be used during December. When a telemarketer calls, I just tell them the Christmas Tree is on fire and I have to go. Then just hang up.

Yeah I do the same but if I'm reeeeeeaaaly bored then I'll answer properly and sound very interested and pretend that someone is at the door and just leave them on hold for as long as they feel like waiting for.
I just hate tellemarketers, I have a private number and when they call they ask for someone who doesn't even live here, plus they always call during dinner time

This is all too funny LOL I always tell them i have already got what they are offering then proceed auction style in bargaining for their comp. in front of them. Normally start at $200 and work my way down. By the tme i get to 60 bucks they tend to get the idea that there is no bus. here LOL

There not exactly telemarketers but they are just as annoying, the guys that just turn up to your house and try to sell you some sort of service, the amount of times I've run to the door with my PS3 controller in my hand while playing COD4 online is just silly

the number of times i had to run to the door with the controller in my hand, but forgot it was charging and smashed it on the ground, is ridiculous. but my new controller's awesome! i never knew you could actually control that stupid snake thing in fLoW, my busted sixaxis controls used to just make it jitter and spin around like an epiletic centipede!

I really don't want to know why you took the controller to the toilet. o_O
Anyway, should this thread be renamed to include strange places PS3 controllers have been left?
