What to do with unwanted calls

[Facetious]

Okay, so I talked to this telemarketer for awhile about whatever the fuck he was trying to sell, and this is how it went.

"...okay. This sounds real interesting. Can I get your phone number?"

"Excuse me?"

"Your phone number. So I can call you later and get more info, you know."

"I'm sorry sir, I can't let you call me at home."

"So you don't like people bothering you at home either, huh?"

"Uh-"

*hangs up*

you stole that from seinfeld

[NaiLed]

i just put the phone down, but off the hook. this pisses the guy/woman off pretty badly, because they can't make another call unless you hang up first. there was even one guy who tried to imitate that "whistle" noise you get when you leave the phone off the hook for a while by actualy whistling himself. he wasn't fooling anybody.

Dude, I don't watch Seinfeld.

[Superted]

Dude, I don't watch Seinfeld.

Me neither, but I've heard it before. Probably someone elses blog.

[Nockm]

I'm gonna try that cleaner one next time!

Maybe using a text-to-speech thingy would be great but a lil too much to prepare.

[Amok]

Dude, I don't watch Seinfeld.

amazing coincidence how you got it almost word-for-word from that show

Because apparently I have something to gain from lying about a prank I played to people on an Internet forum

[Nockm]

I had two thoughts when reading this.

1. You stole that from Seinfeld
2. You're a guy?

God we have some charitable people here don't we?

1. God damn it if one more person tells me that...

2. Yes, that's why my SN is saucyKING

Oh yeah I forgot about those thingamabobs

[Troll King]

If it's a business and not a charity I usually just tell them that I work for their competitor.

[Epinephrine]

A lot of times I'll go 'hello' and they do their spiel and I realize it's telemarketing so I just hang up without saying another word.
