I like to have fun with telemarketers. I'll play them music, give blood curtling screams, answer in a language other than english (not that i really speak other languages, but i can get out a enough words to confuse someone), sometimes the language will be one that doesn't exist (just gibberish). Sometimes i will just pick it up and wait in silence for them to go "hello? hello?" then i'll go "tee hee hee" and they'll start over again, "hello?". Sometimes i'll just make wierd noises and intersperse random "MuAhaHahahA"'s. However if a telemarketer tries to leave an advertisement on my answering machhine, i'll pick up the phone and just blast them. I hate that sort of thing with a passion. Not that i really get many telemarketing calls anymore; that national do not call list is pretty effective. But the occasional unwanted call still does come through (though ever since caller id became standard,it's easy to recognise and just ignore unwanted calls - either let it ring out or just pick up/hang up ( ... )
