Now, I have heard a lot of great options on this thread. I'll be sure to use as many as I can next time. I am all for toying with the damn telemarketers (speeld rong), even if they do hate their jobs, and here are three ideas I have invented to annoy them with:
1. As soon as they finish their first sentance, say "No hablo ingles," meaning 'i dont speak english' in spanish. If they start talking to you in Spanish, say "I don't speak spanish, dumass!" Herein if they do not hang up they will start talking in english again. You reply, "Que? yo no entiendo tu!" (which means 'what? i dont understand you!' then start talking random gibberish.
2. When they call, chatter on for minutes and minutes about your day, your friends, how you went to the mall, this person you met, what you ate for breakfast--never letting them get a word in. when they hang up, you will have the satisfaction of an evil snicker.
3. Once the telemarketer calls and says "hello I am interested in providing you with a bargain phone service," you pretend to be a salesman talking to a customer, replying "hello sir!
I am interested in informing you of this once-in-a-lifetime promotional offer! here at Jackass studios, we sell the rights to stunts performed by idiots on the show..." you know the plan. have fun! use your imagination!!
