telemarketers votes?

[LittleAsianGuy]

I hate having people call me for votes. Had a few calls this month where the telemarker wont even allow me too say a word. Not sure what's the deal with these freaks.

Best thing to do is to say "I'm insterested, hang on a sec and let me take a pot off the stove" then put the phone down and go watch TV for half an hour. The more calls these guys make the more business they get so keeping them from calling other victims puts the hurt on 'em.

That's fuckin' brilliant!!! Love it!!!

I agree; except in my version I have to go drop a huge 10 hour shit log

OMG you got it bang on.. I used to telemarket nothing was worse then when someone would say on hang on a sec and leave me hanging for like half hour 45 minutes.. I got told off in about 7 different languages!
OH well we just trying to make a living...

the other good Seinfeld one was where someone phoned and asked if he would be interested in a subscription to some newspaper or magazine and he responded: "Why, yes I would ..." and promptly hung up.

I used to interrupt them, and then go into my song & dance about what my company sells, breaking the routine often to ask them if they thought it's a good deal they can't live without.

Now, I've evolved to become an interested potential customer. I kept the caller from Shaw on the phone for about 20 minutes with questions they couldn't answer about the high speed Internet service they were flogging such as, "What is the upload speed? How does your light version download bandwidth compare to your higher priced product? What model of cable modem do you install?"

They had to go ask someone for the correct answer every time, until finally I begged off for now and told them to try back in a few months.

A supporter of the local union / ndp candidate called the other day, and she asked if the union executive could count on my vote tomorrow.

I must admit, my semi-twisted mind thought about asking for a ride to the polls.

But that just wouldn't be fair, would it?
