Hilarious.

Indeed Great idea to test I usually keep them thinking I am really interested. After 15 minutes or more continously askign for very complicated information they need to look up i tell them I am actually not interested Instead of putting down the horn,i shut up and hear them talk.Mostly they think i've hung up or something. Some really are swearing in their offices

Also a good trick is to put the horn next to the TV. They get confused and start trying to understand the TV. My record on that is 17 minutes befor ethe guy actually noticed it was a TV

Last telemarketer I had I asked if he could be put on hold... I said there was a nice bit of music to go with it... he agreed, and then I just shoved the phone next to my stereo, playing Disturbed at full volume

I never returned to the phone again

I just do a Jerry Seinfeld whenever I get a telemarketer.

Hello? Oh, I'm sorry, could I call you back? I can't? Could I have your home phone? What's that? You don't want to be called at home? Well now you know how I feel. <click>

We signted up for this free thing from BT (British Telecom).
It is now illegal for them to call us. But before we got it I had...

Telemarketer: "Uh, hello, can I speak to Mr or Mrs umm, is it Wagaufun?
please?"
Me: It's WAUGH! and it may be tricky as they're not in the vicinity of the
house or garden..."
Telemarketer: "Oh, ok then, when will they be back?"
Me: "Oooh, say... 6 to 10yrs time?"
Telemarketer: "Oh, ok, what time shall I call?"
Me: "Lets say 3pm?"
Telemarketer: "Ok, thank you very much, good bye"

Do people get any dumber!?

I actually talk to them sometimes, to help 'em out. I mean, it's their job, might as well be nice once in a while. I usually just hang up though.

[Quiggs]

If they mispronounce the name, I hang up immediately. If they ask for "Mr. Quigney" I say he's not here (Mr. would make me feel old... I'm only 21.)

Otherwise I just throw the phone at my mom. I mean to her.

[Waugh-terfall]

I hate it when people mis-pronounce my name

Waugh... is it that difficult!? wore for ****s sake! lol
My sodding Biology teacher says Tom Vaughn.. WHERE DO YOU GET A 'V' & 'N' FROM WAUGH!!!???

[Quiggs]

I get called Quigley, Qui-...Quigerly, and pretty much anything but Quigney. People = dense.

[Waugh-terfall]

It happens to everyone. People want to call me Bartlow, Barlow, Barton, or anything else that is conceivable, except my name-Bartow. There's nothing hard about my name either, it's said the way it's spelled.
