just either hit on them or, when ever they ask if you need new insurence ask them the same question. or just tell them that you REALLY want whatever the hell theyre buying and then tell them that your really not 18. thats just good fun. we got this telemarketer laughing one time

I remember watching my father set the phone on the floor durring a meal 15 or so years ago.

The guy kept talking....and talking....for a few minutes and then you heard a bunch of yelling coming from the phone and then he hung up.

:D

I usually just tell them that there time will be better spent on the next person.....most thank you and hang up. If not you ask them what they are wearing. :D

On several occasions I’ve actually played along, told them I was interested, and then told them to hang on while I get my credit card out of my wallet and then I would just hang up.

Boston....outside of it....
A telemarketer called our house, and asked for "the man of the house" . I politely told the lady that it was just me and my lover/girlfriend.

Another telemarketer called and asked if I thought there was too much violence on tv and in movies (it was some kind of keep the kids moral type of thing). I told her no, put more in. She was flabbergasted.... she tried to reason with me and I told her I mostly liked watching porn.


We've (OMGF and I) also picked up the phone and when we figure out it is a telemarketer, we get loud and say "Osama, quit calling here".... because we are hoping that maybe someone is listening in on our phone calls so they would waste their time tracking down telemarketers. All in the name of fighting terrorism.
