Can I get in trouble for this??

[JetsFanatic]

I know we all hate those phone calls trying to sell use stuff.

What I like to do is ask them questions.
Like

What are you wearing?

Will you be the one coming to install it? Maybe we can see a movie after?

Are you single?

And sometimes even more explict. But, I don't want this thread to get locked!!

Once the asked for my wife. I gave her the phone. and them said "Hey &^*$# I told you not to be on the phone that long!!!" and them smacked my hand as if I was beating her. She screamed and then cried and then hung up. We laughed for 15 minutes after that.

Since they called me. Is there anyway I can get in trouble ?

 

[T3C]

nope they called you after all, you didnt call them,, and that one with your wife is a good one!

 

[Hammer]

i don't think so. but if they suspect something illegal is going on the might call the cops, and that would be a hassle.

 

[calvinbiss]

I don't know, but thats pretty funny.

 

[Ronstang]

You have some unresolved issue, right?

 

[clamum]

Hehe that's pretty funny.

Once they called my friend and asked for his dad; he told the person on the line his dad was dead. The person goes "Oh I'm sorry" and my friend said he got ran over by a train. Damn kids

 

[Eli]

LOL!

I doubt it.

I always yell, "GET A FVCKING LIFE YOU SCUMBAG!!!!!!!!!!!!" then hang up.

 

[thenerdguy]

I try to sell them stuff. They usally hang up first.

 

[Sundog]

I start off with "Have you redeemed yourself and accepted Jesus Christ as your savior".

They always hang up immediately.

 

[alkemyst]

on a spinoff of this, my friends oldest brother would answer the door totally naked whenever our friends or sales people would knock.

The Jehovah's Witnesses did call the police, but apparently nothing happened but a recommendation that he at least cover himself with his hand.

I had a guy try to sell me a cell phone. I asked if it had a vibrate function. He said yes, I told him to stick it up his ass.

LOL! The wife one is a good one too.

Here's one I always like to use, especially if they are particularly annoying or keep calling after I've asked them not to.

Listen to their pitch, all the while making noises like you are listening intently (you know, "Uh huh", "Yeah", "sure", etc). After they finally finish (the longer the better), tell them you weren't paying attention and if they could repeat it. Sound sorry, and pretend to listen again. When they finish, ask them some totally unrelated question. For example, if they are selling long distance, ask them how long the wax lasts. This really pisses them off.

Um, but if you don't have a lot of time on your hands, this is always a good one too. When they ask for whoever they ask for, tell them to hang on a second, you'll transfer them. Put down the phone, and then pick it up again and answer with the most off the wall name and title you can think of (a good example would be, "This is Malik Ojabwa, his supreme blackness").

Here's another one I just thought of that I might try next time. Pick up the phone and when they start talking, tell them that God is on the other line and you "really have to take this call". I wonder what kind of reaction you would get?

HMMMM!!! great idea!

i do believe I have some old pc parts to sell

k6 300 for $100 is a bargain i tell ya!! (u can o/c it to 350!)

 

I just ask them, "so, I don't wanna buy sh!t, but do you wanna fvck?"
They usually hang up.

If someone filed a lawsuit against me for it I would laugh my ass all the way to court.

 

[Kaervak]

Good god this thread is hilarious.

 

[TheNinja]

I usually ask, "Guess what I had for dinner?"......Then I say "BEANS!!!" and use my arm pit or mouth to make the farting noise......(sometimes I'll add, "Scotty likes beans, don't you Scotty" in a female voice)

 

[EvilYoda]

I've done a few of the things mentioned here before, but when I'm feeling lazy, my favorite response is to just put the phone slightly away from my mouth (as soon as I realize it's a telemarketer) and scream at the top of my lungs.

 

[Spikey289]

I enjoy the magazine sales men that ask me if i woudl like a subscription and I turn around and ask if this is a joke as everyone at this home is blind and would they have a braille edition to sell us? Its fun listen to them stammer and studder afterwords.

Sorry I dont know how to spell!

 

[gistech1978]

1 ask for their name
2 tell them to take me off their call lists
3 make them aware the attorney general of my state has set up a do not call list, and i will file a complaint against them if i receive another call from them.
you do those things, you do not get called back.
make sure you get their name, they are more likely to really take you off when you have a name.
at least in my experience.

but... after reading these, im gonna have to have some fun next time.
i heard this tape this dude made when qwest called him, they were offering free dsl, he called it "decel" "no sir, D-S-L!" "decel?" it went on like this for @ least 10 minutes. they explained what dsl was and their 3 month free deal or whatever, he turned it into getting a free computer, so he badgered this woman for another 10 minutes or so about how "they are tricking him and wont give him the free computer they promised" "no sir, its free DSL" "decel?"
man it was so damn funny, i wish i had a copy.
it went on for like 30 minutes total.

1. Hang up. (weak!)

2. tell that person is dead. The salesperson goes "Oh I'm sorry". tell them how that person died.

3. YELL

4. YeLL something obscene.

5. Try to sell things to them (i will try this )

6. start off with "Have you redeemed yourself and accepted Jesus Christ as your savior".

7. "had a guy try to sell me a cell phone. I asked if it had a vibrate function. He said yes, I told him to stick it up his ass." very nice

8. tell them to repeat their sales pitch over and over again

There was a website with a dude (the dude who does the "retard" on crank-yankers) who had a ton of ways to toy with callers.
In one, he goes in the bathroom with a partner and has the partner make splashing noises. He tells the caller he's giving his grandfather a spongebath and throughout the call the splashing and groaning increases and he yells at his "Grandfather" to hold still and starts making noises like he's hitting him.
The caller gets more and more flustered and embarassed. Very amusing.

 

[weirdichi]

Wow.. reading all of these makes me wanna take my name off the NO CALL LIST!

My uncle's mother lives with him, his wife, and their son in a suburb of Chicago... there are 4 people in the house. Mary (the mother) normally answers the phone... if she believes it to be a telemarketer, she gets them off the line one way or another. Her tactics?

1. He/She is deceased; didn't you hear about the tragic <insert event here> accident last week?
2. He/She has permanently moved to <insert town name that's very hard to pronounce here>
3. He/She is on the commode throwing up because of <insert any made-up disease here>
4. He/She is a minor and cannot use the telephone.
5. He/She is currently speaking with his/her lawyer about the murder case against them.
6. This is an undercover and restricted government agency, remove this number from all records immediately. Click.
7. Simply hanging up on them.
8. Pretending she has alzheimers and can't follow a simple sentence.
