i wish my phone wouldn't ring

i swear the ONLY people that know my phone number are
telemarketers. i get about 18 telemarketer calls a day.

the other day i was playing along with a 'phone survey where
i could have the change to WIN WIN WIN' and i started
answering questions occasionally screaming at the top of my
lungs "NO YOU CAN'T HAVE A COOKIE! NOW GET THE FUCK BACK IN
THE BASEMENT BEFORE I BREAK YOUR OTHER LEG!.....oh sorry
ma'am. damn kids." i could hear her sort of snickering on
the other end, then she said 'for quality purposes this
phone call may be monitored or recorded' and i said 'oh
fuck, then i'm gonna go so you don't get me saying i'm gonna
murder my kids on tape' and hung up.

post funny things i should do to telemarketers. i'll have
at least 5 other opportunities tonight alone.

Hmm... if they're calling to sell you long distance service
or some other phone related amenity, you could just tell
them you don't have a phone and hang up while they're still
reeling from the confusion.

Dude, whatever you do don't piss them off.. I used to do
that, and now they must've put me on some
call-very-often-be-very-annoying list or something.

say this: 'take me off your list', they're usually happy to,
they might just ask to verify the number so they can remove
it from their system. i know i was happy to do so when I was
doing market research surveys

Yeah, I guess I sort of did that. If it was like some
cranky bitch who was like "DON'T CALL ME AGAIN ASSHOLE!
*click*" I was like: "Hmm, I think we should call back in 1
hour. there you go bitch"

There's a difference between surveyors and those who try to
peddle stuff. They'll bug you till you succumb, and then
some..

Yeah, I'm on a phone 8 hours a fucking day now, and I'm
learning to hate them. Never used them much before. Horrible
invention, I'd rather just instant message everyone about
everything.

Hewlett Packard tech support. Which isn't all that bad and I
get a lot of downtime to browse the net, but I have to deal
with a couple of arseholes a day. And lots of clueless
little old ladies. They're my favorite.

Ahh not soooo bad, you'rre not a subject of hate atleast.

I (don't shoot me) was one of those chumps who had to rring
people and ask them if they wanted double glazing etc...
forr about 3 hourrs then I told them wherre to stick the
job.
