Simple Response to Telemarketers
I get so sick of those telephone people calling all the time. "Yes this is Associates Credit and we want ..." Well, here is an effective way to get them to quit calling.
Caller: Hello this is (company or item being sold) and we would like to speak to (whoever). Are they available?
Me: Yeah. (Long silence) You wanna talk to em?
Caller: Um, Yes please. Thank you.
Me: Well, I'm not gonna give them the phone. (I was about 13 when I tried this)
Caller: Little girl, let me speak with you mother or ...
Me: Or what?
Caller: I just ..."
Me: hang on please ...
Caller: (mumbling) finally ... I hate kids ...
Me: (leaves phone unattended for ten minutes, picks up phone and to my surprise she is still there, disguise my voice) Hello, this is (whoever), may I help you?

Me: Hold please
Caller: (sigh)
Me: (no longer disguising my voice but faking crying ten minutes later) I have no friends ... it would be nice to have a friend, seeing how persistent you are, maybe you would like to be my friend??
Caller: (exasperated) LET ME SPEAK WITH YOUR MOTHER!!
Me: UGH ok!

Me: I am really not interested in whatever you want to sell me ... (no longer disguising my voice)
Caller: YOU! Please, I am begging you let me talk to your mother ...
Me: Oh ... She is not here. But, I still have no friends and ...:)

To all who want to stop telemarketers from calling you register your phone number on https://www.donotcall.gov/ it's free, but you have to register every three years.
myself I answer when they say who they are I say this is the city morgue can I help you.
i guess this should be the reason why they have machines to do the talking now....
This joke has been said 50 different times. you did not do this when you were 13
