in the winter time, I give the phone to my 8 year old son and tell him that Santa is on the phone...

If you dont mind I need help getting rid of this body...wanna come over I need your car...we can chop it up to make it fit.
breathe heavily, say domino's pizza, can I take your order?
bye
ellielov- HAHAHA. i wouldn't have the guts to though
EDIT
i feel sorry for telemarketers though. they're just doing their job and are just pestered away. one time though, this telemarketer called, and she did hte regular advertising sale, and she's like, "would you like to make an order?" and i'm like, "uh...i'm 13" and she's like "O! haha....are your parents home?" "no" "would you like to-" *hang up*
I never did, but someone I know told the Herald News (who called every so often) he was blind. The telemarketer didn't know what to say. They never called again.
Oh yeah, that's my favorite too.
Female telemarketers - "what are you wearing right now?"
Male telemarketers - whatever I think of. usually it's "Mr. XXX is not here"
So sick of them that I hang up. I know it is rude but we were getting about 9 a day. Now we have an answering machine and they hang up.
The best is to say that you aren't the homeowner but you'll give them a shout. Then just leave the phone off the cradle for a few minutes. I had that bright idea years ago - somehow the calls have dried up.
I either hang-up or ask them to "Please hold" and set the phone on the radio... They eventually hang up :)
I tell them I can't understand what they are saying, and usually it's true, then I hang up.
tell them your life story!!
or a make up story of your life...whatever is more boring/gripping
talk about your problems hehe they LOOVVEE that!
lol i like the idea of not speaking english :D HAHA
Hold on, your wife is on the other line
i tease their accents and then hang up.
I just say put me on your do not call list
I usually tell them I found a better deal online. :P
Sometimes I say "I don't care. I like spending too much money!" and hang up. :P
i just like to be rude to them
Ooooor you could bust the Seinfeld:
Jerry: im actually busy right now, can i have your home number so i can call you back?
Telem.: no, i dont want you calling my house
Jerry: Now you know how i feel!
i dont know how it went EXACTLY, but it was something along those lines :)
I always ask them really strange personal questions like what they are wearing or if their mother is proud of them. They tend to get really irritated and hang up. Or i'll tell them they'd make a lot more money as a stripper. My reccomendation: Sign up for the national do not call registrey, they'll stop calling all together in about two weeks!
Caller ID! I just don't answer! Prior to caller ID I didn't answer for anyone!
1. Ask them to bury a body with you. 2. Tell them the most boring life story 3 Pretend you dnt speak English
4 Tell them you've been masturbating 5. Put them on hold for twenty minutes till they hang up.
I actually do that seinfeld thing.....I tell them that it isn't a good time, but why don't they give me their home number & I will call them back while they are busy eating dinner.
I just tell them, I'm not interested, and if they try to continue
I just hang up.
