Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted March 8, 2003 I like talking to telemarketers. I waste about 10 minutes of each one's time, thus making it impossible for them to call up another person and annoy them. With any luck, they'll get fired for not making quota. I'm excellent at ruining someone's day. The longest I ever strung someone on was for about half an hour, asking stupid question after stupid question, making them repeat themselves, then I started speaking in tongues, explained a false tourettes ailment, how long I had it, also that my dog had just gotten a few shots and was pretty sore and cranky. Just completely go off topic, but sound interested. They HATE that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest areacode212 Report post Posted March 8, 2003 Someone needs to develop a thicker skin. All this over a stranger hanging up on you? Whenever I get calls from telemarketers, I just say right off the bat, "sorry, I'm not interested". Then I listen to whatever exit message their little script tells them to say, then hang up.

Guest Lord of The Curry Report post Posted March 8, 2003 Just go to the "Old School" thread in the Movies folder and watch Downhome loose it when RavishingRickRudo calls him out on his review style. Fun stuff. Oh, another thing Downhome. I've seen Old School. You're a big goof. Rudo was right, if you're giving Old School a star rating you were never giving it a chance in the first place.

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted March 8, 2003 I still think you way overreacted here. You're in a 'bad ass mood' cause some telemarketer hung up on you????? Get over it and move on and save that energy for when something actually inconvenient occurs in your life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted March 9, 2003 I have to say I find a telemarketer hanging up on you pretty fucking funny, I'm afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted March 9, 2003 All you have to do when dealing with telemarketers is play "Pretend I'm Kevin Nash" It's fun you can say "I'm going bye!" or pretend to tear your quad and fall down and moan a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 9, 2003 It's easy to get rid of a telemarketer... use a seductive voice and ask "what are you wearing" then breathe hard into the phone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
