I told them that the person they asked for had died and today was the funeral. |

I carried on a conversation one time for two hours. I was real bored. every time he said somthing about the product he was pitching I would pitch him somthing for sale. or ask him questions that he was not trained to answer. It was fun hearing him get all messed up and start his pitch over each time I derailed him. |

It's not necessary to be rude. But rather than try to explain in 5,000 words or less why I don't want what they have or have the time to listen to the whole spiel, I just set the phone down and go off and do whatever it was I was doing before they intruded upon my life. They are only trying to do a job, but if I don't want to listen to it then I won't. I'll just let them talk and talk until they figure out no one is there, and when I get back to the phone a few hours later I'll just hang it up. I don't have to explain myself to anybody. |

Nothing other than hang up when they are persistant.
I work customer service for a company that does most of it's business using telemarketers. They are just people trying to make a living so there isn't any reason to be rude. (Unless they are...)
The Do Not Call Registry should eliminate most unwanted calls anyway. |

Its not extremely rude, but I usually say "Can you go through the whole process?" or something like that, and then while they ramble on, I just lay the phone down and walk away. |

I pulled to many pranks on them to list. And they deserve it as well. Considering it's against Indiana state law to call someone on the "Do Not Call List". |

I Made a Homemade "Telezapper". Here's how it's done; Get a Portable Tape Recorder. Dial a "Wrong" Number, on Purpose. As soon as it "Picks Up', You'll Hear 3 "Beeps".It'll take Several Attempts to get it Right, but get those 3 "Beeps" on Tape, to where it's "Loud and Clear". Put those 3 "Beeps" at the very Beginning of the Outgoing Message on Your Answering Machine.Those 3 "Beeps" will Send a Signal to ALL TELEMARKETERS that Your Phone # is not Valid, and They won't "Bug" You!Then, after the 3 "Beeps", have Your Regular Message; " Sorry I can't come to the Phone Right Now...Etc". Best of all, it's Free! Why do a "Rudest Thing to a Telemarketer" when You can "3 Beep" them all? |

In just one short sentence I crystallized her whole spiel, had her confirm it and plainly said no thanks, waited 5 secs in silence and hung up.
I'm sure I left her thinking, "What in the world just happened!"
From then on I just used my message recorder to filter out such calls. |

I let my 3 year old child talk to them about Disney movies. But after checking out The Toad's link I'm gonna post the script by my phone! That was awesome! |

I keep an air horn handy for them. Luckily, the no-call list has greatly reduced the number of folks that get to hear it. |

I pretty much either put the phone down and walk away for a bit, or I pick up, then hang up right away, lol, my parents get mad, but it's funn |

ask him the same question he should be asking me and then not give him time to think... then give him my mobile phone number, which is actually the number of the information service.
If that not helps just start in an inventive foreign language... they hang up out of pannic |
