Wow, that is absolutely outstanding!

Have you ever seen the Seinfeld episode where Jerry messes wth the telemarketer? I thought that was great, but its nowhere near as funny as this one...

Good find!

Yeah, it’s really funny. I didn’t know this one yet, nor that there were English ones.
Howsoever ‘they’ may be called …

Danee,
Your recording of the telemarketer interface was absoulutely hysterical!! I turned blue laughing.
I did a smiilar thing once, not so radical, but finny as well. That's what to do; keep them on the line, go along with the gag, and have some fun.....then maybe they'll get a life!

If you have nothing better to do - steal their time! Make a fun of it - if you can...
Or play a grandpa/grandma who doesn't understand much, ask after every third word "what?", talk about your grandchildren...

This great! They don't seem to care that they bother people or take up your important time. What a terrible career.

Hahhaaa this is great.

At one point in time, Dish network called us over 4 times a day! Talk about annoying, though I do feel for the telemarketers as its just their job...

I answered the phone thinking it was a telemarketer once, and ended up getting angry and telling him to not call back again.

It turned out to be my uncle...

I can't ever be rude, even with annoying calls....but I have to say nobody was ever too insisting..
