Re: How do you respond to telemarketers?

i usually just say " no thanks" and hang up....
BUT, one time when in high school when i was still at my parents house, a telemarketer called and asked to speak to the person in charge of the phone bill... i said " i'm sorry, we don't have a phone" and hung up Chat Icon
figured it was pretty harmless, and mght have even made the telemarketer laugh a little bit...

I hang up, DH lets them go thru their whole "presentation" then tells them to pls hold. The longest we had some guy wait was 20 mins. DH finds this VERY funny. "they waste my time, Im gonna waste theirs"Chat Icon



I have a good sense of humor but don't find this funny.. and they really aren't wasting anyones time if you politely hang up as soon as they come on the phone.



i agree with this... its really not wasting a lot of your time if you just politely say no and then hang up.... they are just trying to make some money, like everybody else...
