The gist of the Method™ is to tell the telemarketer firmly that I am on the Canadian Do Not Call List, and to please remove my name and number from their list Right Now.
I like the clip I posted last week where the guy pretended to be a homicide detective and that the guy the telemarketer was calling was murdered. I never get calls from telemarketers, but if I did, I would use that.
Hey, Hey... we are not all Pricks. Some of us (i.e. Me, Myself and I) can get a clue if you tell us to Bug Off! As a respectable Telemarketer, I can vouch that sometimes we are harassing, little maggots but It's All About The Benjamins like the Americans say and there isn't much you can do when your Supervisor is listening to you or, better yet... right over your shoulder to tell you to push that sale harder and not take the first negation!
Oh, for the most part I have little trouble with telemarketers. They're polite and usually take "no" for an answer after the requisite two or three tries. This one, however, started off with: "Hello? Are you Mr. or Mrs. mousme? Hello? HELLO-OO?" at the top of her lungs. So loudly, in fact, that she didn't hear me reply "Yes" and kept shouting "HELLO-OO!" for another little while until I had to shout back at her to be heard. :P
Most annoying.
I was, however, polite but firm and requested she remove my name from her list.
Jeez, I would have just hung up. That's just goddamn rude. Hehe, one of my little shoulder buddies (you know, the one in the red suit) just said I should get an air horn. Shout in MY ear, will you?
