How to prank a telemarketerPretty funny, if I say so myself.
It is a tough job. I know, I did it as a part time job at night when I was in ninth grade for Thrift Pak food service, then it became Colordo Prime. Which is why, when I get a telemarketing call, I'll listen for a bit. Nothing harder then trying to sell $8.00 lb hotdogs and an overpriced freezer. Back in those days, you had to qualify the lead for the sales rep, and ask outright what the income was, size of the family etc. Most men that heard a young woman on the phone, gave enough of the right answers, thinking I would be the one to show up at their door. The sales rep was always a guy, and for all the effort if he got the sale, you made $3.00 per lead if they bought the food, and a whopping $8.00 if they bought the freezer to hold it in. So I do cut some slack for telemarketers.
But when it comes to political surveys and the like...I warn them. I get to ask a question for everyone of their questions. I love it if a Supervisor is listening. They end the call before I do. Or if they only present me with two answers, ask for the third. There always is one, and you can figure out which politician is paying for the survey.
At any rate, this guy knows how to turn the tables on the telemarketer. I know he's on the Do Not Call list that all agency's have.
And by the way, if you are wondering how they get your unpublished number? We had phone books in numeric order with every name, that was purchased from marketing corporations. Think about that the next time they ask for your zipcode at checkout, when you swipe your credit or debit card. Big brother is watching, and he's making a profit off of you too.

I know this guy who starts breathing hard. Then he asks obscene quesitons. That usually gets rid of them real quick.
