Telemarketer Special

In the previouslys, I posted about my feeble attempts at besting telemarketers. Then came Saphrym who showed that he, too, enjoyed devouring a telemarketer or two occasionally. And then along came Morgan who showed us who’s the boss of ‘em all by sharing this video.

Oh hey, it’s Monday. Everyone needs a laugh on Mondays.

      Nicely done. I can’t even imagine what that telemarketer’s thinking halfway through this call and what he’d tell his boss.

        I’d love to have been a fly on the wall during that conversation.

      I think I just burst my appendix. I wonder if I could think fast enough to successfully do that. Ohhhhh, I’d sure loooooove that!

      Mwahaha!! That’s hilarious. I’ve heard it before, but it’s always good for a laugh.

      On a related note, Lil’ Miss (my teenager) just started a telemarketing job. She need cash quick and they hire anyone- practically no questions asked (a little sinister, huh?). Anyway, she’s starting to come home with some funny stories about people freaking out on her. I might just have to blog about it. :)

        OMG please do! I bet you have some really funny stories to tell!

      Sometimes when I am lonely, I call telemarketing companies and ask for something to be sold to me … I always decline.

      1. Lis on 05.02.2008 at 16:28 (Reply)

        Hehe, Speedy! You’re such a tease!

      Liz - Thanks for the compliment. I had originally seen it with full video of the ‘policeman’ on the phone and I’m not sure the laugh track was as loud.
      Kudos to Saphrym - His bit was audacious.
      Here’s one I used to use:
      Assuming you have caller ID or even if you don’t -
      When the phone rings, pick it up and say “Hi, may I speak to Fred” (or Sally, or whatever)- When the caller responds, regardless of what they say, just simply ask again “Is Fred there?” They’ll say ‘no’ and you say, “Do you know where he is?” they respond - you can keep this up for as long as you want.
