That's pretty funny :lol:

I just say, "yes, he's here, just a minute, please" then I put the phone down (still connected to the caller) and go back to my dinner or whatever it was I was doing before I was so rudely interrupted. Eventually, they'll get a clue and hang up.

Hey you waste my time, I'll waste yours :mrgreen:

My brother-in-law would simply cut them off and say, "I rent."
They'd say, "Thanks anyway," and hang up.

40% are weary.
40% are not weary.
15% are are undecided.
5% don't know.

GREAT!!! I gotta remember that!!

Lately, I've told telemarketers : "OK, you have ONE minute to tell me what you're selling, in your OWN words - if I hear you reading your script, I'm hanging up".

The result is usually pretty funny. And I usually end up hanging up before their 60 seconds are through. :mrgreen:
