Mine was better, some chick called and tried to get me to donate $50 to some random thing. After an hour on the phone with her, all she got was a headache. Moral of the story? She doesn't call my house anymore, I haven't heard from a telemarketer since.

She actually tried to end the conversation 3 times, and I wouldn't let her leave.

Tina called me and told me she was lonely. That's the phone call. My life isn't open to viewing for j00.

Yeah, I don't have any friends or anything, so when Telemarketers call, I take it as an opportunity to talk to someone.

My friend got a phone call from a telemarketer at 3am it was a man and my friend abused him so bad the telemarketer cried like a little bitch.

Haha, that was really quite funny, not trying to be a jerk or mean or anything. But tat actually made me laugh.

Good, I'm glad my misfortune is serving a purpose.

The best strategy for dealing with a telemarketer is to act completely innocent and ask them this question:

"Gee, I'd love to talk to you about this more, but I'm kind of busy right now. Could I have your home phone number?"

"Um... no."

"Why not?"

"Well... uh... you're not supposed to call me at home."

"YEAH, NO *#$%." [hang up]


Sometimes it's not this easy. Just keep 'em talking and feigning interest until they tell you something about not wanting you to call them at home. Then go in for the kill.

(Don't let them try to put you onto a call again list. Say that you like the person on the other end and wouldn't want to talk to anyone else, and that it'd be confusing for you if someone else called. =P)

I just kept asking questions like

"So, what'd you do today?"

"Do you like music?"

"What's your name again?"

"Where do you live?"

"Are you watching Television right now?"

"You should turn on a TV to chennel [random number] and watch this show with me, it will be fun we can make popcorn and laugh at the jokes together."

"Do you believe in god?"

"Would you believe me if I told you I was god?... We'll I'm the god in my own religion."

The list goes on and on forever.
