telemarketers are odd. one time they asked me my favorite radio station, some a queation i forget, and the third one was 'are there any women between the age of 20 and 40 in your house?' or something like that. fully random. i should have messed with her.

Most of the time they're just prankers.

this guy just phoned us. lucky me, my mom just left to get my homework for the break. (i've been sick all week) i picked it up on the third ring, coughed, and said 'hello?' the guy introduced himself, said he was from direct sattelite, said their number, and said something about cable going up. he said they chose my area to get some discount on direct TV, said 'i was hoping to catch you at home' i said to him 'i'm home.' i thought this wasn't good enough, for he didn't respond. i said "I AM HOME." he still babbled, was this a recording? i went <b>"WHAT THE HELL!!! I AM HOME!!!"</b> he didn't snicker, stop, or anything. i can't believe i blew it by not answering at first!

worry not, for your day will come. More telemarketers will call.

I did that once... I asked what I thought was a telmarketer recording, and suddenly he stopped and said "What?" After telling him he sounded too much like a recording, the call sorta broke down from there. I forget what it was about now, but that wasn't too important anyway.

Sometimes they make you feel guilty.. Like one time, A police sherrif called asking if<br> I could donate money to a teddybear foundation and it would buy a poor child somthing for christmas. <br><br>I couldent just hag up so... I had to pretend to be mentally Ill.<br> I started blabbling and yelling untill he hung up. <br><br>The best part is that he called back not but 10 minutes<br> later and I just played Mr. Roboto into the phone.

Well, I had to post <a href='http://nipandtuck.keenspace.com/d/20021228.html' target='_blank'>this strip</a> from <a href='http://nipandtuck.keenspace.com/' target='_blank'>Nip and Tuck</a> because it appeared to be on topic. I've been reading the archives from the beginning for a couple days and just got to this one a minute ago.<br><br>EDIT: Oops.. would work better with the URL in there..

I once got a call at 8:50 PM after I was speekign to a friend of mine who had to leave and would call back. He went through his speech and I asked what time it was. He said "Here it's 10:00 sir" then I asked if he knew waht time it was here. His response was "No," to which I said "No thank you then," and he said "Wait! Why is the time important?" I hung up. Sadly that's my most exciting telemarketer story.
