I talk quieter and quieter for about 30 seconds then yell "IMMA KIX YOUR A" and hang up. I've done that ever since I saw that picture on the funny picture thread on arch0wl.com.

For some reason i'm never really RUDE to them. I don't know if its because I can't do anything rude like that without starting to hysterically laugh, or if they might like...tell on me or something.

I usually just put the phone down until they hang up.

Or pretend to be my parents.
That's always fun.

I should put some soundboards in my favorites so I can do that if they ever call

I laughed. I thought like
"IPITYTHEFOOl!"
"Ah!" (drops the phone and runs off)

To ward off telemarketers, I simply answer in Russian, then when they speak English I pretend I can barely speak it and try to sell THEM something. I usually make it up on the spot so it makes for a funny conversation.

I'm gonna try to get them off topic
and start talking about the weather
or something and then they'll all be,
"You are so kind everyone else just hangs up on us."
then I will say
" This ain't no different. Tool!" An then hang up.

My cousin is a telemarketer.

On a slightly similar note... a credit card company has been taking advantage of the fact that most of the people at my school are idiots and handing out flyers promising free pizza. Upon reading the fine print, one learns that the pizza is free only if you spend God knows how long filling out Citibank credit card applications. Today the same woman tried to hand me one of these flyers four times... within thirty minutes. Sigh.

A national guard recruiter kept sending mail to our foreign exchange student, who lived with us during the 01-02 school year.. She'd been required by state law to take an armed services standardized test because she enrolled in my high school as a junior, and the test was required of all juniors (even those who were not citizens of the US). The mail kept coming for her until the guy finally called one night and asked to speak to Nishiki (her last name). My mother, confused at first, told him no one by that name had ever lived in our house, and finally realized what he was talking about and cleared everything up. We moved, so I don't know if he's called since..

1. Try to belch everything to them, dont say it. In a few minutes they will hang up.

2. Tell them they need to be more enthusiastic, coach their telemarketing skills, like randomly say "your babbling again", or "louder". Stuff like that

3. Use tons of different accents in a short amount of time.

4. Ask what clothes they are wearing or other personal questions.

5. Tell them you are depressed and ask them what you should do. Make up some really boring story about 15 minutes long as to why you are depressed.

6. Press buttons on your phone that make noises during the call, then tell them to stop it.

Also great for stuff on telemarketers - http://www.ebaumsworld.com/telemarket.shtml
