I had the best one the other day (this has actually happened to me twice) sum foreign person 'hello is that dreaves' me: sorry? her: Is that mrs dreaves me: do I sound like a woman her: yes yes yes me: dDO I SOUND LIKE A FUKCING WOMAN her: is that mrs dreaves me: If you don't even know what your saying why are you on the phone her: mrs dreaves me: Splutter feck off derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ive tried to haggle a kitchen salesman with tell u what if you buy my old couch then i'll take your kitchen - he was not amused:lol:

if you want to really piss of a telesales

be really nice and pally. seem very interested in there product,

go through everything with them all love there product say your going to get your credit card and pretend you cant find it and ask them to call you back..

keep putting it off and they will not call you back..

if you get in a stress they will just pass it onto there m8 and they will call..

its kind of like competition to get the worst caller..


i know ive done it

When I ever get these calls and the person says to me 'Can I speak to 'Mr Thomas', I just say 'I'll get him for you now' I just put the phone down and see how long it takes for them to hang up

I had some one from vauxhall ring up asking me if i wanted to have a test drive in a new car. So i told him about motorpoint being cheaper than those rip off main dealers with there fancy show rooms he just hung up, i don,t know why? :boggle:

The best thing to do is pretend your interested, when i worked in tele sales it really fucked me off when you'd babble on for 10 mins, and the person just went, no thank you :lol:

we had a window sales person ring up the uni pay phone(was outside our flat) so we answered it and told them we were interesed in reglazing the complete uni.....they were all game till we told them theyd called the halls of residence!

It's more fun to say you're in the Telephone Protection Service/System (TPS), and see how long it takes THEM to slam the phone down! :thumbs:

Although, shortly before my folks added their phone-number to the TPS-list, my dad kept one double-glazing sales-woman on the phone for an hour and a quarter, then said he wasn't interested when she asked if she could send a salesman round, as they already had double-glazing and he just wanted to see how long she could waffle on about their products for! She wasn't happy! :D

i don't get any of these calls,
think they don't get xdirectory numbers.
but wouldn't mind a few calls now and again, sounds like fun!

i would probably tell em how my day went, and ask how their's was.... or probably sound interested and keen, just to waste their time..

they are scum!

I've just quacked down the phone

i play pranks on em all the time. its a victimless crime. heres a couple:
(btw i wrote all these, as ive done them all, this is NOT one of those posts copy and pasting from emails :o )

- Rubbed my thumb across the mic and said "your breaking up".
- Pretended to have terrets, and swore and barked in between sentences.
- Sang the song "smooth operator".
- Pretended i was on the toilet (i dropped grapes in the toilet for effect)
- Gave them verbal abuse (pretty much the norm)
- Started a conversation about my day
- Pretended to be really excited about whatever they were trying to sell me
- Spoke another language... badly an all

Theres been a few more, but if anything like that has happened to you, share ure ideas :thumbs: .......no really, cos im running out. They phone all the fucking time :o
