This goes out to all of you that have either worked in telemarketing (me), work there currently (me, kind of), or have been annoyed by their calls ever in the past....

I dunno, I think it's funny.....

Peace,

Yeah, I used to telemarket selling domain names and web hosting to local businesses.

One time, I called a telemarketing company, and started my sales pitch. The guy on the other end was like "How dare you call and interrupt our company trying to sell us stuff..." I asked him "So what is it that your company does exactly?" He stayed quiet for like 3 seconds and said "**** You!", then hung up....

Now, I work as an IT and a sales rep at a place that manufactures Plasma/LCD TVs. The only telemarketing I do is for B2B sales...

Peace,

when I was about 16 or 17 in the mid 90s there was some dude
selling shareware CD roms that called me - I told him no but he kept
talking - I told him that I only liked freeware, but he kept talking
- after about 20 min of that - I was bored - but it was a little funny
I keep telling him no - then he starts yelling and going crazy, buy that
time I am laughing and start making fun of him - I hear him hit stuff
I tell him that I am bone-ing his mom and I have to because his
penis is to small to please her any more - I hear AHHH AHHHH YOU
BASTARD I KILL YOU - once he responded like that I knew I had
him hooked - I kept on about his mom - and then about his dad
it lasted about 30min - and then he just left the phone off the hook
and I hear him break stuff, throwing stuff and screaming

if was funny as hell

but I used it to record video game cheat hot lines LOL

Tennessee instituted a "no call" list circa 1999. The law was written in such a way that if you were on the list and someone called you, that caller was personally liable for a $500 fine, and most of that would go to "victim." Man, I had some real fun with that one:

Ring Ring

"hello?"

"Yes, sir, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute about our wonderful electric *** scratchers?"

"Why, certainly. And what was your name?"

"My name is Jim. Our electric a...."

"And what company do you work for, Jim?"

"Acme international, makers of the finest elec..."

"That's great, Jim. Hey, when can I expect my check?"

"Huh?"

"Well, Jim, of Acme international, you called someone on the Tennessee do not call list, therefore you owe me $500. When can I expect my check?"

click

Worked every time.

Well I worked for State Farm a few years ago, and we had to be soo careful about not calling someone on the Do Not Call Registry.... we had to type in each # on some website to check and make sure they werent there....

But on another story, the most ackward situation is when you call someone and there spouse picks up and says that the person you're looking for is dead, has been dead for many years, and just sits there talking about that person for the next half hour. No joke.. I called a lady and she sat there for a half hour talking about her dead husband Bob...... After many apoliigies I hung up... The funny thing was... was she wasnt even mad.... just a bit sad I guess......

We got so bored at work that we rigged my computer up to my phone at work so we could use the sound boards you find on Ebaums site. We get many many telemarketing calls on our 4 lines at work. Usually tech support gets the calls but sometimes when they are all gone someone in developement will get one. We just transfer the call to my computer, pull up the sound board and respond with either Jack Black, Tom Hankes, or Judge Judy.
That is some funny stuff!!
