What do you say if you want to be rude to a telemarketer?!


Question: Me? Be rude? Pa-shaw! I am never rude. I simply listen to what they have to say then politely tell them I'm not interested.

that thing from seinfeld when hes like i cant talk right now can i have your home phone # and ill call you back, and the telemarketers like no, and then jerry says now you know how i feel and hangs up

I say "Oh yeah? Can you hold on for just one second?"
and then I set the phone down and walk away

put them on hold and walk away from the phone

tell them you want to take their number and call them back in a few minutes.. too subtle?

I just answer when they call, "City Wok Take a order prease?" Sometimes they fight with you tho.

follow what sienfield did (look it up on youtube) or pretend to be a cop and the guy that they are trying to reach has been murdered and tell the telemarketer that he is a prime suspect

I have my 5 year old answer the phone if I know it is a telemarketer.

I've got caller ID- If one gets through I just say "not interested" and hang up, that's it.

Never call me again B*tch!!!

You: Sorry, i cant talk right now. If you give me home phone # i'll call you later
Marketer: I cant do that.
You: They gave MY phone # to you! How come i cant get yours?

(Make sure its not a recording... it wont work)

i think Seinfeld did that

Don't be rude to them, they are just trying to make a living. Instead humor them. Ask them a bunch of questions. Tell them you want to get to know them. Or just tell jokes. They will eventually hang up and think you are crazy and won't call back. And you don't even have to be mean.

well you could tell them to PLEASE stop calling and if they called agian you are going to find them and report them. Or you could just say oh hold on... and then put them on hold until THEY cant take it anymore

I don't say, I just put the phone down and hold up there lines....

Also, i like the one that Jerry Seinfeld does in one of the episodes of Seinfeld....

TM: "Would you be interested in free long distance calls for the rest of this month?"
Jerry: "Oh sorry im kind of busy right now, but ill tell you what, why dont you give me your personal number, and ill call you back?
TM: "um, I don't think we're allowed to do that"
Jerry: "Oh so I guess you don't want people calling you at home then?"
TM: "no..."
Jerry: "well now you know how I feel!"

And he hangs up! I've always wanted to do that, but i have never had the guts... i feel to guilty!

**Oh bummer, by the time i finished typing that everyone had already done that one like 3 times! Sigh.... I shoudlent have explained it in script form :(

Sorry, I am really not interested, let us not waste each others time.

I say, Good Lord, I hope you get paid by the hour and not commission only, you couldn't sell a lifejacket to a drowning man. Then I hang up.

i keep pressing 1 on the phone until the telemarketer ask "what are you doing?"and i tell them iam pressing one for engilish but its not working?

I usually just hang up. I don't really like to be rude to them, because I used to do that job once, and I know how soul destroying it is, and usually the only people who do it are those who really need the money.

Say city mourge.

Like when they call for my Mom they ask if Kimberly is there.

I said "City Morgue, let me go check if a Kimberly or Jane Doe is here."

They hung up.

The same one called back later and I said some profanity ladden things.

Never called back.

Why be rude, just keep reading...

These telemarketers make there money on calling as many people as they can, these days there are automated calling machines which the owner pays some good money for.

If you are very nice, and keep them talking, it not only waste there time (gives the new people someone to practice there "pitch" on), and it gives them a feeling of having a sale.

Remember keep them on the line if and only if you have time, this costs them money (because they are not calling others) and this has worked for me. They take me off the calling list and/or out of there computers!!

Even when you pay to have your name on those no calling lists they get there. Some places you sign up for there cards to use to save money, they sale your information (I no I bought these lists before), therefor you are giving your permission for these phone calls......
