Me: I didn't sign up for any information

They come back with a well according to my list you did so they get hung up on.
Hanging up on them doesn't work. They call back. Please take me off your list doesn't work. They call back. I will report you to the BBB doesn't work. They call back. Ignoring the call and letting it ring when i recognize the # on caller id doesn't work. they call back. Then they change their # to 000-000-000. WTF? Like i won't remember that.

A week ago my response was if you ever call back i will remove your head and hang it on my wall and tonight they call back.

I wish i could some how hook up a laser beam that would zap them in their ears through their headset every time they try and dial my number.

pick up the phone and hold one of the buttons. After awhile they'll get the hint. Do it over and over again. They'll make a note on your account.

Turning the stereo up and laying the phone directly in front of a speaker works pretty well, too.

I've always wanted to try unleashing a barrage of hilarious sexual comments to one of those female telemarketers just to hear their reaction.

One of these days I'll do it.

Maybe Answer the phone and act like i think i'm talking to my hot mistress.

"Oh, ****, I've been waiting for your call. **** I'm SOOOOO hot right now. I'm stroking myself so fast thinking about that time I PIIYB. OHHHHH"

Its fun to light heartedly flirt with them, because most of them have no hange up policies, so you can keep them on the phone a long time. This pisses them off because if they are on the phone a long time and do not make a sell they get hell from their bosses. So as long as you do not get out of hand, they have to stay on the phone. Some of them act like they enjoy it after awhile.

Is this a land line? I thought those had call block features, but I've never had one...

I use Mr Number on my cell (Android)... you can set it to send certain numbers to voicemail, or my favorite, pickup and hangup. Usually after telling them it's a cell number and I'm not interested anyway, take me off the list, etc; they do... but just the other day Hilton vacations called, and then again yesterday morning.... most of the time the app responds fast enough that my phone doesn't even ring/vibrate. Also had some moron calling once a week or so asking for someone else, even though I've had the number for 10 years... must be frustrating getting the pickup/hangup, since he didn't listen the first 20 times I told him to stop calling.

The reviews are kind of mixed, and this one is just strange...

We can't even be outside having a conversation without it going off. And forget having any kids in the yard, their voices set it off too!

Huh, I figured it would be some high-pitched deal that humans can't hear.

[007]

People that drive below the speed limit period.

People that have to practically stop before they turn.

People that don't use their turn signals.

People that coast through stop signs and lights and call it a rolling stop.

People that use their cell phone while driving.

Oh, and people that bitch about bargain hunters.

If you call a ****ing phone and it goes straight to voicemail, it's a pretty good indication that the person is already on a call.

By all means, hang up immediately and call back repeatedly! You can bet your ass that when the person DOES get finished with the call you beeped all over, they're going to be in a mood to help you with your urgent issue. (Especially when you're the jackass who caused Bob Dole to come in on his day off last week, and you showed up 7 hours late.)

This reminds me....

People who call back immediately after you start leaving them a message. They don't know who called in order for me to know who to transfer them to, or what it might be about (which also helps me know who the call might belong to). I walk around the office asking if anyone called a so-and-so. More times than not (actually, I can't think of a "not"), the caller had left them a voicemail (stating their name and reason for calling), but the person couldn't wait long enough for the voicemail to come through before calling back and wasting my time.
