telemarketers and the fun you can have with them
52the many ways to handle rude people and have fun doing it.
I know that I am not the only one who gets those annoying phone calls at the wrong time. The TELEMARKETERS! I can say, "No Thank you" and hang up but they will call again and again even after I tell them not to call back. Well I decided that if they were going to bug me, I might as well have fun with them. My 19 year old loves it also. One time a lady called to tell me that a certain newspaper would be available in my neighborhood. I said that was the best news I had heard all day and I was so happy that she called to tell me that and I hung up. Another time a man called and wanted to sell me a photo package. So I said, Oh boy, I need some nudes done. He explained that they didn't do nudes. Then I said, "You don't?! Well then piss off."
Sometimes when they call, I will answer the phone and then put the phone in the drawer and walk away. Another time when they called I asked, "Who is this?" When they tell me their name, I will say sorry but they don't live here and hang up. When my son answers them he can get crude and I woon't go into detail about the things he has done or said to them.
Last week, we got a call from the same number between 15 to 20 times. When I first talked to them, they said they were going to send me a packet to make money for free but they expected me to pay shipping. I just needed to give them my credit card number. You don't ask me to give you my credit card number. I said no and hung up. They called for a week many times a day. No matter what we said or did they would call back and many times it was one right after the other.
I can't turn off my phone because my other kids might need to get a hold of me.I sure get angry though. I thought ok, how can I make my point to these people. We had tried calling them back but we would get a message that either the mail box was full or the number had been disconnected.
I realized that I can't physically hurt them or can I? I went shopping and bought an airhorn. Next time I tell a place do not call back and they do, well they will get an ear full.
Have fun with the telemarketer, make their lives and jobs a living hell!

It is very nice to take fun with this type of calls.
Here in Missouri Debi, we have a very strong Attorney general that if you report them there are major fines imposed. I don't get calls from them anymore.
debi56, May I say it? "You go, girl!" Great hub and great advice. I get these calls everyday. Just today, Oct. 10, got one from a credit card company...funny thing, I do NOT have a credit card. This is a GREAT hub, debi! Enjoyed it very much. You are a great talent. Voted up and all the way across. I am now a fan and follower. Sincerely . . .Kenneth Avery, from a rural town in northwest Alabama, Hamilton, that looks like Mayberry, where Andy and Barney worked. Keep up the great work. Uh, oh, Phone call. See ya later. I mean, read ya later.
