Mercurial Member 47 Member For: 21y 11m 29d Posted 15/10/06 09:11 AM Share Posted 15/10/06 09:11 AM That is gold!I like to try to provide a service to my fellow telemarketer 'victims' when I get called.I spend about the first twenty seconds sounding really interested and keen, then knock on the wall so it sounds like someones at the front door. I ask the telemarketer to 'hang on a tick' 'There's someone at the front door', and then put the phone down on the bench.I come back five minutes later and listen on the phone to see if they're still waiting for me to come back. (and so one) It's such a liberating feeling to know I'm wasting THEIR time, and it means they're not wasting their next 'victims' time yet either.Records so far for one of these idiots waiting for me to come back to the phone - 17 minutes!
