Well then I'm sitting at my comp and the phone rings ,
I notice on the screen its a international call , now these people have been bugging me for a real long time , everytime i pick up the phone they hang up ,
when i do get a voice at the end of the phone i tell them to go away in a ''polite '' way ,
well i answer the phone i get the same voice
'' hello can i speak to mr sean gamble- beresford please ''
sgb '' no he died ''
''oh what time will be best to call him ''
sgb '' never he is dead ''
''is there any way to get in contact with him ?
sgb '' go down the cemetry and dig him up , see if he''ll speak to you , but i'll doubt it because he is dead ''
''oh I'm sorry to trouble you i'll phne back later !!!''

Are these people thick or what !!!

all the grandma's would poke me at weddings saying '' youre next !!!!'',
they stopped it when i did the same to them at funerals

note to self... next time telemarketers call for me or better yet the owner of the house....mwuhahahahhaha

I know a girl that used to work as a telemarketer, and according to her the biggest complaint her co-workers had was when someone would want to here everything they have to say about what their selling...then say "not interested" right at the end.

LOL,

Here's something I posted a while back on the Firearms board (don't ask but Racegal was involved). It's scarily on topic for this thread...

<font color=yellow>This is probably off on a bit of a tangent (but that pretty normal WT behaviour), but that is the best way to get rid of these cold caller telephone people.

It doesn't matter if they are trying to sell me something or get me to vote for the left or some other way they've invented to waste my time, the old phone sex thing stop them in their tracks...

Let them talk for a bit and just listen, they'll normally stop and say "are you still there?" at which point I sort of grunt a yes.

Then after another minute you can let out a little "uhhh" noise.

This will cause them to stop again.

At this point you go "Don't stop, keep talking" in a breathless kind of way.

Most of them will freak at this point and ask what you're doing.

The best reply is a sort of panted "Keep going I'm nearly there.."

The phone will then go dead in abour 5 milliseconds.

Tomas, have you ever spoken to me I wonder <img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>...

Snipe leaves PA to NY and then to Gatwick. He then tracks and snipes .44 Hollowpoint. Back to Gatwick, NY and PA. The body is never recovered.

Won't ask about how racegal was involved, don't think I have to. But it's a pity I do't have her phone number..otherwise I may start a fly by night (from Snipe) operation, B & S outdoor supplies, and try to sell RG8 a bucket of worms and thirty bottles of scent blocker in time for trout and deer season. <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Aww Lunatock, i'm dissapointed, i thought you knew me better then that. Worms and scent blocker are of no help to me........On the other hand a couple of cases of 15w50 and some airplane fuel and maybe we can have a deal <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Well yeah..but with a huge dish of spaghetti, a utnsesil to squish it around, a windex bottle, and a glass of water..my bid to sell you the bucket of worms, and scent blocker (you do know what's mostly used in scent blocker don't you?) may have made for a good prank call battle with you . <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
