Depends. Most days I just say I'm not interested and hang up the phone. This one company called Adirondack Deck Company keeps calling us, even though we asked them to take us off of their list. When they call, I just echo them until the person on the other end hangs up.


GreenRabbit
I tell them to give me their number so I can "call them back later."

start selling something to them, but be more aggressive. Go until they hang up on you.


Black Cloud
Have a whistle close to the phone and blow really hard! That's what I do... even if I keep getting calls, I enjoy hurting their ears!

Usually something goofy, or just not answer.


Allison =]
I tell them that the person that they are looking for is in Madagascar, or tell them that the person they are looking for is taking a poop. Works like a charm =]

I tell them I'm on the Do Not Call list (which I am) and I will be reporting them.
Or the rules of the List state that people I do business with are still allowed to call. I tell those people if they ever call again I will cancel all business with them.

Works like a charm.

i try to keep the phone call going as long as it can, before refusing their claims...it their phone call, and their wasting my time, so i may as well waste their money hehe

oh and sometimes i pretend that im a telemarketer on my side of the call and start asking them questions to piss them off

I use to say this Politely - "No mam thankyou, I think right now I dont require this, may be somewhere later". Thanks.

I always think-ok fine...after all they are doing there job, like we are doing right now. Now it has become a habit of attending such calls.

I usually keep repeating that I'm not interested until they get the point. I try not to be rude to them.....because if they had better luck or a choice, they wouldn't be doing a crappy job like that.

I kinda feel bad for them.

Sorry not interested


RAY Rebel
Entertain them while theyre on the phone. And in the middle of their spiel, just hang up. They cant get angry or anything cause they get it all the time. In the end, you save your hard earned money and they dont make some phony sale. :-D

I ask them what steps do I need to take to have their company cease and desist from calling my number.

Most will just accept a verbal request and I never hear from them again.

you tell them your life story and keep talking to them. or... you could just leave the fone on the table without hanging up


Jenna
I tell them that I'm not interested to what ever product they are going to offer.


rajni a
when free, just listen to their stories. They are doing their jobs only (having pity on them).

When busy, I will say call later and hang up.

This always works "Do you have to be 18 years old?"

They will always say yes...

"I'm 15 years old"

Then they will ask to speak with the homeowner

"This is a boarding school"

They can't do anything ielse and will let you go.


Now, I used to do that...now I just say "Not interested" and hang up.

nothing, i hang up the phone as soon as they say.."may i speak with mr. soandso"


no
i hang up but you can also just say that you are not interested and that you already have what they are offering if you would like to be kind. they expect hang ups. so it is not rude. you can just let go of the call
