And now: how to escape the telemarketing people?

Who has never found themselves in the unpleasant situation of trying to get rid of a boring telemarketing attendant? Some are especially insistent, don't let you argue, and often call us at the least opportune times. However, if you're in a good mood, before you simply hang up the phone, there are some fun tricks you can use to escape these folks. Check out 20 of them below:

1 - If the attendant asks “how are you?”, Take advantage of the cue to say “glad you asked!”, And start crying the beads without stopping on the phone;

2 - This trick is suitable for boys: if the attendant is female, ask her to wait a second and, in a very hoarse and sensual voice, ask how she is dressed;

3 - Once the person identifies, simulate surprise and pretend you know him. And if the attendant denies it, insist and state that you are sure he is such a person;

4 - When you answer the phone and realize it is telemarketing, pretend you are an answering machine;

5 - Make the attendant think that he mistakenly called a police station;

6 - After the person tells you which company you work for, invent that you also work there;

7 - Pretend to be a stutterer;

8 - If you are fluent in another language, start speaking anything that comes to mind. And if you don't know another language, invent one!

9 You can also just drop a bunch of random meaningless words - or take a dictionary and recite some of them in alphabetical order using a very casual voice tone;

10 - If the attendant is trying to sell you something, invent any product to sell to him;

Pretend you can't hear what the telemarketer is saying and ask them to speak louder and louder;

12 - Repeat everything you hear on the phone using a funny voice;

Answer, say hello and say no more;

After the person identifies himself and tells which company he works for, ask him to spell his name and the name of the company. Then ask for the full address, landmarks to get there, and keep coming up with random company questions until the clerk gets tired;

15 - If you meet one of those annoying sellers who never stop talking, wait for them to finish presenting the product and, when asking if you want to buy whatever it is selling, ask for permission to fetch your card and “forget” the phone next to the washing machine, TV etc .;

16 - Ask the person to speak slowly, for you want to write down everything he is saying;

17 - Tell the attendant that you are willing to listen to him, but as he is having lunch - or eating anything - ask if he cares that you put him on speaker and make noises with his food, speak with your mouth full etc .;

Pretend that you believe the person is a friend of yours who is prank to you;

19 After the person identifies himself - regardless of sex - begin to declare his platonic and unconditional love for him, reciting poetry and all manner of exaggerated praise;

20 - If the attendant calls your house and asks to speak to a certain person - who may or may not be you - make it up to him on an expedition in Antarctica, went to prison, plummeted off a cliff, moved to the Nepal, died etc.
