    Me: Hello?
    TS (telesales barely speaking english) : Im calling from <insert name here>. Do you have a mobile?
    Me : No and im busy. I have to go now. bye

    1 minute later they ring back

    Me: Hello?
    TS (telesales) : Im calling from <insert name here>. Do you have a mobile?
    Me : No and ive just told you that when you rang, Do you not understand english?

    every minute or so they ring back for 10 mins.. i know i shouldnt answer but it was a bit disruptive getting it on knowing they were ringing

    Me: Hello?
    TS (telesales) : Im calling from <insert name here>. Do you have a mobile?
    Me : NO MAN !!!!!! im trying to get laid
    TS : Is laid the name of your mobile phone provider?
    Me : No its a word for sex
    TS : Is sex your mobile phone provider?
    Me : F*** Off im trying to have sex with my husband
    TS : Not to worry madam you can sex me on the phone.

    I had to hang up, i was dumbstruck. It was the best offer i'd had in AAAAGES and as a result we couldnt finish what we started because we kept laughing at my phone offer!!!

    He didnt ring back though to follow through lol

    I either speak really slowly, over pronounce every word or act really dim. (which isn't hard for me) :rotfl:

    My friend passes the phone to her 5 year old daughter for her to tell them about her day at school. My mum just spends all the time saying thats for me to know and you to find out .....

    Ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they got into this line of work, are they married?, kids?, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.Or you can say you are busy at the moment and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her HOME phone number so you can call him/her back. When they explains that telemarketers cannot give out their HOME numbers you say "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?"
    bye hoo
