Telemarketers

Recommended Posts

one of these days one of these Telemarketers are gonna phone me up and all i'm gonna end up doing is screaming down the phone "RED SAUCE ON PAAAASSSSSTTTTAAAAAA!!!!!!" and then hang up ;)

 

Lol, that'll be a good one :D

 

I mostly get real people where I am, especially for political calls. I only get prerecorded messages when it's something like a product being advertised.

One of our phones at work has the same number as a pizza company if you reverse two digits.

 

My favorite is to take all the details of their order, ask them to confirm that is all they want, then tell them as they are our 1000th customer this month, their pizza is free, remeber to tell the driver that!. I then then phone their order through correctly. One day I'm gonna go round to an someone who I do this to and watch the fire works. :D

 

With telemarketers I make them feel they are about to enter a hitchcock movie.

 

Them : hello sir can I interest you in double glazing ......etc

 

Me. Hang on, double glazing. .....double glazing.... ( while thumbing through a phone book ) ...... ok the response is the Eagle flys west at 0612.... Repeat the eagle flys west at 0612.

 

Then: Er... double glazing ...windows

 

Me: Oh ####!, ( to someone off phone ) its a code 21:19. You mean you really are trying to sell double glazing....####..... ####... Forget this number, forget this call and if you are a religous person start praying now!!!

 

and hang up :D

I got another one today, this time people advertising some kind of lawn care service. I stop the man half way thru his first sentance. It turns out I was in the middle of guitar practice, so I unplugged my headphones (that I use so I dont annoy the dormmates) cranked the amp and hit C. The guy tried to continue to talk and so I hit another few notes after placing the phone on speaker. He didnt seem to take a hint so I just started playing some Alter Bridge. Sad thing is he listened to it.... I hate telemarketers, the foiled my plan that time. He was on the line after I finished playing the intro to "Down to my Last"...

 

I had to tell him to stuff it the old fashioned way... <_<

Back in Good Old Days, or maybe even today, with slight twist...

 

It could have been fun to respond to any telemarketers calls by reciting a long litany of numbers in dead monotonous voice, using Russian. These days, to get them scared one could use either chinese or arabic... Just some random numbers, like they'd have called to a numbers station.

Reading through some of this, I almost feel sorry for the guy on the phone - I mean, he's just trying to do his job. Okay, it's a *beep* job and should be banned, but that's not his fault, he just needs to feed his kids (or his crack habit, either way)

 

 

Doesn't stop it being funny or stop me taking notes to use on the next guy who calls me trying to sell me something that I blatantly don't want.

Yeah, the only reason I push them around so much is because I think it's fun and I'm beligerant like that ;)

Me: See I always wait for her to call, Because I'm not allowed to call her anymore because of the silly little cat thing

 

Caller: sorry?

 

Me: Well....I kinda .....I was playing with it ......I didnt mean for its head to fall off, and the best place I could think to put it was on her bed. It didnt help that when I wiped the blood of my hands on her wall it somehow spelt "B***H"

My latest one from some overseas call center ran like this

 

ring ring

 

'hello, my name is blah blah sales pitch'

 

I cut across with 'Are you going to give me money?'

 

'What?'

 

Are you going to give me some mofo money?

 

'What? No, never!'

 

Then why ring me up Im busy?

 

'The reason is .'

 

Never mind all that sh*t mate send me some dollars to my paypal accont, yeah?

 

'What?'

 

DOLLARS, DOLLARS to my PAYPAL

 

'Ok thank you sir' Hangs up on me.

 

Its working well so far, the trick is to just cut straight across the pitch and start demanding money.
