  1. I always put myself on the Do Not Call list, so I haven't dealt with them in years.  Back when I did, if it sounded like a female, I would keep her on the line as long as possible while slowly increasing the sexuality of the conversation.  I still remember the time I kept one girl named Kerry on the line for 52 minutes, talking about everything under the sun.  Of course I never bought a d**n thing.


  2. If I have the time, I let them go through their entire spiel, and I ask them as many dumb questions as I can, and them I tell them I'm not really interested and to take me off their call list.

  3. Sorry "no speak English", hang up

    Press 1 for English, Press 2 for a real person, Press 3 if you are having a problem.

    Mrs. Jones?, sure.. let me get her for you...lay the phone down and walk away.

    This is a recording, please leave your name and number and I will call you.

    I am really interested in your product, may I have your phone number s I can call you a home while you are eating.

    Also on the do not call registry but they manage to get through anyway, and act like they are your long lost buddy "hi Carrie how are you today", now they are using "we notice that you are only paying the minimum balance due on your charge card", (don't even have a charge card)..

    Thank you

  4. acted as though it was a s*x line

    they're not alowed to hang up.

  5. tell them i am jobless and soon to be homeless

  6. you start asking them questions like what they would ask you!!!

    its really funni what they say!!

  7. Hehe, good question! I used to say this:

    Caller: Hello, I am calling from southern gas.

    Me: Southern Gas? not northern gas then?

    Caller: Southern gas! Can i speak to miss grace please?

    Me: No, no, no no, no, talk to me I'm lonely!

    Caller: Please, i need to speak to miss grace.

    Me: No, talk to me! How are the wife and kids doing?

    At that point the caller would hang up. If he was persistent and didn't  hang up, we would just leave the phone on its own while the caller wasted his time talking to no-one!

    It's great fun s******g with their heads when they annoy you!
