What do you do when you answer them. For me, Id just put my phone next to the speaker and play the Vuvuzela sound from youtube. Its funny how they just hung up on me.

And funnier when a pissed off telemarketer is all like "Stop playing that fu*king horn you sick *censored*" *hangs up*

I should have caught that on tape :lol: :lol:
 
I take on different accents, and make up various scenarios that really make the telemarketers think. Sometimes, I'll try to sell them stuff, I've done with "Peter Griffin Maid" thing, I've mimicked Michael Jackson, and much more. I find it fun to talk to them. They are like, "Sir, sir, sir, sir please listen to our offer." They get so mad. It's so funny.
 
I think these people are worse then tax collectors. >_> Damn annoying people. I tend to take on different accents, or, one of my favorite things I've done before is answer the phone casually, talk to them for a few minutes, then play a gunshot sound from the computer and say "stuff the body in the trunk". :lol:

The first time I did it, I could hear the terror in the guys voice, and he hung up.

I tend just to simply put the phone down.
Yeah, and probably the most appropriate thing to do. People who respond to telemarketers rudely may get a nasty phone call back again.

Haha, I should try this. Thanks for the idea. My Grandpa will talk to them for hours, then they'll be like, "So, what can I put you down for?" He'll respond, "I told you, I'm not buying anything." They get mad because they've been talking for hours.
 
I say Yes to everything and other times i just hang up.
 
I hang up sometimes. Other times i take down the number and call them back with an old man accent asking about my pills. And yet other times i drop something down the stairs and say "I think i broke my neck!" and they hang up. Might try the vuvezuela thing though! 😛
 
I love it when these guys call, I try to seel them something and they hang up faster then Road Runner zooming by, aint I pure insanity :lol:
 
I generally put my phone down when I get a sales person or recruiter on the phone, however, a while back when I was living in my previous location, I did put the phone next to my computer speaker and used an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard. Lasted about a minute then they hung up, guess they thought terminator didn't want double glazed conservatories.

Lmfao!!! Now that's just awesome! I myself just try to tell them we aren't interested.
 
I'm always like, yes, yes, yes, yes .. Wait .. what did you call for again? 😀
 
Telemarketer: Hello, would you be interested in blah blah blah blah?

Customer: Oh I'm sorry, I can't talk right now. Why don't you give me your home phone number so I can call you later and then we'll talk.

Telemarketer: I'm sorry, we're not allowed to do that.

Customer: Oh I guess you don't want people calling you like that at home.

Telemarketer: Yeah...

Customer: Well, now you know how I feel. *hangs up*
 
I just did this 5 minutes ago, LOL

Telemarketer: Hello, you have been selected to recieve a free iPhone blah blah
Me: Hello, you have reached the loud horn....
Telemarketer: Pardon?
Me: You have reached the loud horn hotline *plays LOUD vuvuzuela horn with 2 Loud PC speakers*
Telemarketer: Ok, turn the horn off...
Me: WHAT????
Telemarketer: Turn it off!
Me: WHAT????
Telemarketer: TURN THE F*KING HORN OFF!
Me: WHAT????
Telemarketer: CAN YOU HEAR ME??
Me: WHAT????
Telemarketer: *hangs up*
Me: ROFL!!!

Could have caught that on tape, but I couldn't find a working camera
