Best way to answer telemarketers?

Well we all get those calls from those money whores, obviously nobody likes them but it's their job to call, well after all those years I figured what's the funniest way to answer them? Other than just hang up, [spoiler]i better not hear the jim's White House one -_-[/spoiler]

    Wait a few seconds to hear their spiel then say "I have one week to live" really weakly and hang up(or hear their response but give little coughs or moans of pain every now and then)

      • My dad and I have the same name, so I always end up answering telemarketing call that were meant for him. When the person asks the name I say oh that's my name, and my dads. Who are you looking for? They say my name, and I always answer oh wrong frank, I'll get him. Then I answer again and explain that I'm the wrong Frank and I'll get the other one. Usually it goes on for two or three switches before they hang up, but one time I got this girl who stayed on the phone for probably a half hour. Near the end she actually asked me how many Frank's I knew lol.

          • Talk to them about your life problems. That MAKES them know you're not interested. Or reply with a telemarketer answer; welcome to so-and-so, would you like to purchase such-and-such. It makes them hang up.

            • This one totally -blam!-s with their head. Just say, "place me on your do not call list." If they call you again say, "I will report your company to the FCC if you call me again."

              • Nicely, because they are just people trying to make a living. Would you want some arse to come into your place of work and harass you? Of course not. So don't be a gobshite.

                  Next time they call, put on your best Spanish accent, and say the following in a deep voice: [b]¡Hola señor! ¿Que? Yo no se.. ¿Que cosa? No hablo inglés.[/b] If they bring in someone who speaks Spanish, then switch back to English. Repeat steps as necessary if they put the regular guy back on.

                    • When I was in percussion class and got them, we would put the phone on speaker in the middle of a drum circle and start hammering the drums and deafen the guy on the other end. I never get those calls anymore

                    • i used to be one, they dont care when you are rude and/or hang up on them. they just move on to the next call. if you really want to get them pretend you are interested in buying, and BIG. then when its time to finalize it all just say "ehh... i changed my mind. please remove me from your list." THAT is what pisses them off the most.
