Messing with Telemarketers Options

[TheSilenceInDict...]

I'm sure we all have our ways of dealing with them.
Some of us put up with it, or retaliate with rudeness. And the small few of us choose to be humorous about it.

For me, I either...

• Speak in a fake asian accent and try to frustrate the crap out of them, leading them around in circles
• I go 'Uh-huh, yeah, that's nice', and hang up.
• If I'm in a more lousier mood then usual, I'll simply say 'F*ck off' and hang up.

Share your telemarketer experiences, pranks or things you'd like to do.
