Phone calls

[Mike]

Anyone else end a telephone conversation with "get fcuk off my phone anyway, im busy" an then hang up. Even if your not busy, an even if you called them lol

Or am i in a minority here?

"That all sounds very interesting but the doorbell just rang, i'll be back in a second" only done it a couple times but managed around 15 minutes before they hung up lol

[novaguy08]

not said that exactly, however whenever have cold caller I used to enjoy getting to the point of sale then tell them im not interested lol

however right now I just tell them to bugger off & take them off their calling lists!!

Did have 3 mobile call me the other day & I told them I had just upgraded my phone and it wasn't due for another 2 years lol

Always fun to shout "OH SH!T" in a panicked tone a split second before hanging up. Just to see how many call back asking whats the matter lol

As for cold callers I just remind them I'm on the TPS. Most hang up when I keep reminding them they're breaking the law by ringing me :d

[Bubba]

"THE Steven Gerrard? Who plays for Liverpool FC?"
"No, haha SIKKEE!!"

[mowgli]

i did have an old style answerphone....

my message was

'hello...............(louder) HELLO............(Bit louder) HEELLLOOO........(really loud) HELLLLLOOOOO......................sorry, i'm not in at the moment, please leave a message after the tone....'

i got some belting messages left

[Andy]

lol like today at work,had to sign into a shop i was doing work at and proceeded to call myself Fernando Torres lol

[mowgli]

my old boss's wife really was called elizabeth taylor... she used to get some fantastic responses from cold callers

[novaguy08]

I did actually tell someone my name was slarty bartsfart for a giggle, they seemed confused lol

I told them I could tell them the answer to the ultimate question, life, and everything..........

Think that the name of the game with cold callers is to see how stunned you can make them, if they just hang up then its a win, however if they hanging saying "What the......" then its an epic win ;)

[Jon_nova1]

lol Sorry, i think i have the best one

let them have their say, then ask if its free, when they say no i say "nar, i don't want it then" lol

[L14MNP]

I ask them about their company, if they know who the owner is, how many work there etc. If I CBA that is. lol

[mowgli]

[twistysnovagte]

[Hayley]

We actually get cold callers coming through our emergency 999 system in our Police control room.
coz they show up on our touch screen as 999, we answer them with "police emergency?" there is always a bit of a silence and then a rather sheepish person apologising that their system has somehow gone through to an emergency number. I just say, "oh its ok, but hope you realise that you have just blocked this number so a possible real emergency hasnt been able to get through. lets hope no-one is getting murdered!"

makes me laugh but it is actually true, only so many lines we have free for 999's to come in

dam annoying things!
