    Do you guys get those people on the phone? They irritate the crap out of me but I don't have the heart to be rude to them so they keep calling and calling.. ugh.

    Do you know any fun ways to make them shut up or piss off?

    oh my god do i ever. the day i did this was the proudest day of my life haha. anyway here's what you do.
    if there is some way to tell that its them, like a long distance fone ring then you pick up the fone after a couple rings sounding out of breath.
    if not, then pick it up right away but once you know its them sound really mad and out of breath

    then you say hang on a second, cover the fone, but not very much and "yell" into the background "no honey its not your mother" then go back to the fone and be like "i dont know who you thnk you are calling me about some stupid survey but you just interrupted the best fucking sex ive ever had. I curse you!" and hang up. usually THEY hang up (ive done this routine a few times haha) but you might have to. :P

    then another time they called for my father, who is dead. so i was just like "no he's deceased at the moment but if you want we can go dig up his grave just for you nice people" and hang up. i liked that one too, muh dad wudda loved it. i dont recommend you do it if the person isnt dead though.

    When they call, I always tell them that my family is eating (normally dinner) in a very sweet way, then when they start to say they're sorry I ask in a very motherly tone "Now I dont call your house while YOU'RE eating dinner and disturb you and your family, do I?" and they normally hang up very quickly.

    Or, when my 5 year old nephew is around, I put him on the phone and have him ask them questions and ask if he can sing them the Blues Clue's song over and over again.

    That's fun too.

    When my grandpa died and someone called for him I told them that he had just passed that morning, and they were terribly sorry and humiliated, so sometimes when people wont stop calling for my mother (she moved out of the house about two years ago) I tell them that she just died a few days ago so they had better take her off the list.

    That's the ONLY way that I've ever gotten them to take the freaking number off the call list.

    Once someone called asking me to vote for some guy and i said this:

    "Ohhhh no, I fell for that one before! I don't know WHO you are, but if you see that good for nothin *Insert bad word* tell him I don't care what he says, It IS his baby!"

    Then I hang up.

    1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.

    2. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "Why do you want to know?" Alternately, you can tell them, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my sciatica is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died..." When they try to get to the sell, just keep talking about your "problems."

    3. If they say they're Joe Doe from the XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.
