Re: How To Get Rid of Telemarketers

I've found the perfect way to completely cheeze them off.

I listen to their entire schpiel, asking all sorts of questions. I drag it out as long as I possibly can, even making like I'm taking notes on my computer. I even make smalltalk with them, telling them that I've worked in support, so I know how it feels to take abuse from customers, etc.

Then when it comes time to seal the deal, I tell them that I'm not interested, but I simply enjoyed wasting their time as a public service to my neighbors. Knowing full well that they're on commission, wasting their time starts becoming VERY expensive for them.
