  Old  I hate telemarketers

but I got revenge on one a few min ago:

phone spammer (ps): hello, im soandso from this company, I have a survey

me:(inturpting) survey eh? I have one for you first.

ps: o...k.....

me: have you ever been laid

ps: no

me: why?

ps: its against my morals

me: ok, well thats the survey... now il take yous, wait, aw crap, I gotta go now, can I have you name and phone number so I can call you back?

ps: its against company policy to give personal info like that out

me: I wonder why? maby its to keep people that you dont want calling you from doing so *click*


im not normaly this mean to them, but I have gotten somewhere around 12 calls this week from them.

I've said...

"Oh my god, is this some kind of sick joke? He died 2 weeks ago!" Then put the tears on.

And similar to dan...

"Sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment, just give me your home number and I'll give you a call back tonight"

"I can't give you my home number"

"Because you don't like to receive stupid calls at home no doubt" etc (Which I kind of stole from Seinfeld btw)

As well as...

Them: Hello, I'm calling about...

Me: Hello, (loudly that can't be ignored)

Them: Hello sir, I'm calling about...

Me: Hello, can you hear me?

Them: Hello, I'm calling to let you know...

Me: Hello, are you going to speak or what?

Them: Hello sir, I'm calling about...

Me: I guess there's nobody there then? (and on it goes till they hang up).
