Telemarketers

These people annoy the hell out of me. I am fucking 16 and I have had 4 telemarketers in the last week. The funnest thing you can do though is go off in a different language on them...i.e. I went off on an American Airlines telemarketer in spanish. It was a wonderful feeling. Or if you don't know another language strike up a conversation with them. Ask them if they actually enjoy their job. They are going to call no matter what you say so why not make the best of it.

Yeah A guy tried to switch our local phone service once. I just told him we don't have phones in our household, He just got pissed off and swore at me because He told me I was talking on a phone. I called up his manager, and I think I got him fired! It was golden!

I need them to call. They're the only people who ever call me... I mean, I had a friend once, but then the rope broke and he got away...



lol jk. It's so much fun to mess with them.

They get paid hourly and on commission basis of sales they make, if you keep them on the phone for ages it really doesn't make much difference.

Last June, I was at my friends house working on a project and a telemarketer called. She asked if we wanted to take a survey, so my friend handed me the phone. It was hilarious.. I kept asking her questions in French about our project, and she was like: 'I don't know!! Just let me hang up!!! I'm sorry I called!!! I'll take this number off of our list!!!'

Great times...

Our phone number is under my Mum's maiden name in the phone book, so when tele marketers ring up we can tell its them because they ask for Mr or Mrs Thomson. We just tell them that noone by that name live there!

A fun way to mess with them is when they call and ask for someone just tell them to hold on and you are going to get them. THen put the phone down next to you and go back to what you were doing. After a couple minutes pick up the phone and say they will be right there and repeat the earlier process. See how long they will stay on the phone waiting.

Simply hanging up on them isn't as much fun though...

Actually, it's a really hard job. They have to be able to convince people over the phone, and deal with people (like me) who like to mess with their minds. It takes a lot to be a good telemarketer.
