I said to my mate, "I just met a doctor who claims he can cure my illness."

"Which doctor?"

I replied, "No, he's legal."

 I just got off the home phone with a telemarketer, so this caught my attention as I was web surfing this afternoon.  I realize these people are just trying to do their job, but . . . they are so annoying.


10 Ways to Annoy a Telemarketer


10. When they ask "How are you today?" Tell them! "I'm so glad you asked
because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my
arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died..."

9. If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name.
Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located.
Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as
long as necessary.

8. Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?"
Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of pause as she tries to
figure out where she could know you from.

7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan,
reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends... would
you be my friend?"

6. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and
you could sure use some money.

5. Tell the telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could
bring you a case of beer and some chips

4. After the telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When
they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your credit
card number to a complete stranger.

3. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask them if they will
give you their HOME phone number so you can call them back. When the
telemarketer explains that they cannot give out their HOME number, you say "I
guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The telemarketer
will agree and you say, "Now you know how I feel!" Say good by - and Hang up.

2. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on
Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your mom?"

And first and foremost:

1. Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD down.

I got another one to add.
11.   Pretend like you don't understand English very well. Mispronounce words,  spout a bunch
       of  gibberish at them. It'll really fluster them.

LOVE THESE.
My husband is a contractor and gets calls all the time from payroll services, finance companies, yellow pages (BIG RIPOFF) etc. The payroll companies always get flustered when he explains that he doesn't have any employees.
