WOOOO!!!! I finally actually got a telemarketer to call me in ages! Here's the story:
A guy with a very strong east indian accent called and my senses kicked in immediately. He offered to do a free estimate for new gutters on my house, (my gutters are brand spanking new so I wasn't losing anything) so I told him that I needed to make sure that the gutters would stay sturdy if at least 150 pounds were hung off of them because the neighbors kids use my gutters to hang off of to sneak out of their house and they are always breaking. After some explaining and interrupting his sales pitch, he finally spoke to a manager and told me that it would hold the weight. ( I doubt it )
The guy spent twenty minutes and started getting aggravated with me trying to tell me that an expert would be at my house tomorrow to give me an estimate, but I kept telling him that I would like to come in and take a look at the gutters to see them hold the weight because I was busy with the court system going through a divorce (he thought I was my dad so.....) so I wouldn't be home much and it would be a waste of my time had the estimator come and told me "-blam!- no, it can't hold that." (and also see that my house isn't actually broken)
So the guy spent a good two minutes trying to convince me to let the guy come give me an estimate, all the while I kept telling him: "Look, there is no point in giving me an estimate if I don't see that it can hold 150 pounds! The rest of the gutters are brand new! it's just the once part that keeps breaking! I don't care how much it costs, I would just like to come in and see if it can hold the weight I need it to hold. There is no point for me to get your gutters if they are going to break again next week! I need to see them successfully hold 150 pounds first before anything else!"
that lasted for about 10 minutes. When he finally got the idea that I wanted to come see their gutters demonstrated, I was telling them that they were wasting my time with this and that I'll stick to what I can see in the stores. I could very much hear the agony in his hard to understand accent when he told me, "ok sir, thank you and sorry for your time."

My sister ( Who's like in 5th grade) screamed YO MAMA! Once so I did it to a telemarketer.. and he threatened to kill me and commit suicide. Then he cried and I ate some cookies.
-
Say a few random words, after that I usually scream "Spaghetti" really loud and if they have yet to hang up, I hang up.
-
no they are stalkers just put the phone down and get a killanaior
-
I usually yell in gibberish at them, or I answer the phone "Moonlight Services, We make your fantasies come true" and hang up on them.

Start telling them how your day went, if you want it to be effective, start with "Finally someone to talk to, I've had a bad day" then start prying into their personal life
-
I tell them that I already own 2 of the items they are selling from their company.
-
Act like they just called a phone secks company

This thread is two years old. Also whenever they call I repeat what they say back to them in a creaper voice. For example... them:hello would you be interested in buying proactive! me:Would you be interested in buying proactive... them:Yes would you like to buy some. It removes all of those unwanted blemishes. me:It removes all of those unwanted blemishes... them:Are you daft? me:daft... Them:Yes would YOU BE INTERESTED IN BUYING PROACTIVE SIR. me:*yelling the same way they do*YOU BE INTERESTED IN BUYING SOME PROACTIVE SIR!!! them:-blam!- I HATE THIS JOB.
