Telemarketing call stories

[K9karen]

Thanks to No Call, I rarely get soliciting calls anymore. But, since I have no backbone (or at least a part of one), and have known people who telemarketed for money while in college, I hate to be rude. I will say, thanks, but no thanks and hang up. One time, I was rude and arrogant and totally pissed and hung up. The guy called me back and yelled at me for hanging up on him! I swear! My friend was sitting right there and we peed ourselves laughing!

I haven't had time to read all these, but the few I've read have been funny. I don't like to be rude to people, so I can't do anything too rude to the telemarketers. Last year I had a funny idea, some telemarketer was trying to give me a 'free trial' to something. I politely told him I wasn't interested, and he blurted out "you don't want such and such free product?" I then told him, "no, I hate free stuff". He and I both laughed and we hung up. I thought it was funny and I'm sure he hadn't heard that before because it caught him off guard.

I've now got this freeking car warrenty place calling me dozens of times per day and they won't stop and they hang up on me when I ask to be taken off their call list. It's makeing me crazy upset. I've had 5 different telemarketers from that blasted company hang up on me now when I ask to be taken off the call list. I wish I could get that company into trouble but I have no idea what company it is, since they keep hanging up on me. They're trying to sell me an extended warrenty on a car I don't even have...I don't have a Jeep but they insist on trying to sell me extended warranty on it, and when I tell them I don't have a jeep, they just hang up on me....GRRRR!
