Re: Telemarketing is far worse than gang rape...
OOOOOOOOLD
It was even the same video, I recognize the eerie face.
Plus, this is how you handle it:
Usually we interrupt him as they say hello
"Excuse-me, sir, is this telephone marketing? I will have to take this to my superior, please wait, your call is very important to us"
then I put the phone on hold with annoying music for a few seconds
then mom picks up
"Hello, family mother"
and as he says something, she interrupts him
"Sorry, do you have the permit 3342? No? I will need one of those before taking your call. Please wait as I will prepare your form, your call is important to me"
Then my sister picks it up
"Hello, new vendor register sector"
"uh"
"Oh, you are the one for the permit 3342, right? I will need your full name to sign you in"
"e.."
"Ah, would you want to participate in our business contract promotion? You give the names of another three vendors and you get a bonus discount the next time you call us!"
That depends on our creativity, but it's easy to make up bureaucracy
"Sorry, sir, what are you trying to sell again? Oh, insurance? Okay, for this one i will take you to the RH management.Please wait, your call is important to us"
"Insurance? is it a car insurance or a health insurance? Oh, a car insurance? For what colors of cars?"
The other day they called, and the telemarketer said
"Please sir call the responsible for your home"
Then I put the phone on my dog's face and made her bark.
After a few more barks I'd say "My dog is indisposed today, you'll have to call tomorrow" and hang.
and even better, when there's a visit home with small kids
I just give it to the kid, it tends to be hilarious.
The scene goes "Hello. Oh, wait a minute.<passes phone to a 4-years old>"
people ask "huh?"
I say "Telemarketing"
they laugh and say "Oh, okay."
