Re: Have you ever said or done something funny to a telemarketer?

When the telemarketer asked, "May I speak to Mr. eldo?" my DH replied, "I'm not here right now...may I take a message?" which of course made absolutely no sense, but wouldn't you know, they left their name and number anyway.

Re: Have you ever said or done something funny to a telemarketer?

This is one I've used several times. I let the person do their speil and ask if I'm interested. I say "No, but I'm an Amway rep, would YOU be interested in....blah blah. Usually they never call back. I'm not an Amway rep, but it works.

my bf asks telemarketers what they are wearing. It normally gets them off the phone pretty quickly!

Re: Have you ever said or done something funny to a telemarketer?

I used to be a telemarketer and heard some really good ones.

Once, when I worked for Time Life Libraries, a friend of mine made a call and a child answered the phone, he asked for Mr. ----, as we were supposed to, the kid said he couldn't come to the phone. So he proceeded by asking for Mrs.----, this time the kid said "They can't come to the phone right now, their bumping bellies!"

We all laughed so hard, they had to give us our lunch break early because no one could stop laughing long enough to make calls!
