    Default Payback time

    Ok so I got this ANNOYING telephone advertisers phoning me twice a day. No matter how much I tell them I'm not interested in the phone (they claims there from MTN then Altech auto page then CellC then virgin mobile then back to MTN) she won't stop calling so I want alittle revenge but I don't know which phone pranks to pull on her and need new ideas, don't hold back

    I hate it when these people phone me.... The best is to say "Please hold" and put your phone down somewhere and do nothing until they hang up... getting frustrated does not help...

    The one calling me is worse. She keeps talking and talking and talking and talking, no matter how many times you say "I'm not interested" she keeps talking over you

    Weird. When I was in korea I used to get them a lot. Here not a single one. Just hang up or start talking in another language should help.

    1. Repeat what they say. Keep repeating them until they ask you to stop, when they ask why. Reply that you are training to be a telemarketer.

    2.Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "C'mon Leon, cut it out! Seriously Leon, how's your mom?"

    3.When you know that is it a telemarketer, start reciting Row Row Row Your Boat....if they don't interrupt, then (when your done) say "this is a recording, and if you hang up I'll press redial, and start all over again."
    If they interrupt, say furiously "Excuse me!, but I'm trying to sing here!!!!" sing louder and slower until they hang up.
    If they listen to the whole song the first time say, "You're the only one who hasn't fallen asleep yet, so I'll sing it again for you."

    4.After each question they ask you say "no" ... for example ... are you the owner of the house? "no" can I speak with the owner please? "no" do you know a good time to call back? "no" ... so on and so forth.

    5.After they introduce themself don't say anything. After they say "hello are you there". Press a bunch of buttons and then scream REALLY LOUD. hysterical crying or evil laughs work too. as do any FREAKY sounds.

    6.Sing in a Mentally Insane Voice at every question they ask: "I'll never tell...I'll Never Tell, I'LL NEVER TELL!"

    7.Try and sell them something back, like a vacuum cleaner.

    8.After they tell you the product they're selling, ask them if it comes with a free blender. If they say no, tell them that you won't buy from them without a free blender, and hang up.

    That last one is awesome!! Im going to use it.

    I usually just put the phone down somewhere and let them talk into the air. I sang Men in Black to one the other day, did all the rapping and everything.
