What are you sick to death of? I'M SICK OF THIS...... !!

Postby Squawk » Thu Jul 13, 2006 7:28 pm

This thread was motivated by being sick and bloody tired of getting unsolicited phone calls from India.

"Guudd eeeevennning, ees dat Mr (Squawk)?

"No - wrong number I'm afraid. See ya later."

I had the day off after the Socceroos loss to Italy in the World Cup and had four such phone calls during the day! I've also noticed a lot of calls like this being made on Saturdays - particularly in the mornings.

Can someone get the Indian terrorists to bomb their call centres instead of their trains?

I guess if you have an answering machine on (if you do have one) and someone wants to talk to you badly enough they will speak into it. That works.

Unless of course you are expecting a call, then don't have it on, otherwise use the answering machine.

I just say I'm 17 - then they ask to speak to my parents.

I tell them to ring back later when they get home from work.

By then, I've gone to work and my girlfriend gets stuck talking to them.

My last conversation with an Indian Telemarketer
for all of safooty people to do as well.
here goes.

The Indian telemarketer introduced his product to me.
I interupted with this :

" Excuse me can I ask you a question before you go on?"
" YES SIR YOU CAN ASK."
" Would you agree a giraffe hangs down with a 12 inch penis?"
" WHY YES IF YOU SAY SO SIR."
" Well mate do you know what hangs up with 12 inches?"
" WHAT SIR?"

Mal, I'm gonna print this off and stick it next to the phone.

I have heard that if you don't hang up they cant disconnect.

Also heard an even better one for unsolicited mail enclosing a reply paid envelope. I heard of one guy who would always fill up a box with bricks, telephone books and whatever else that was heavy, and stick the reply paid envelope on top before delivering it to a mail box nearby!

Now, If only petrol companies would distribute reply paid envelopes! LOL

An older mate of mine short on patience (in his 60's) received one of these calls recently and politely (his version) declined, replying with "Look mate, I'm not interested", the response to which was "Oh Mistar Wilsun, how can you not be inter ested when you do not know what it is I have to offer?", his next replying being far more direct "Don't get smart with me you Curry-Muncher, now piss off!" *Clunk*

Several hours later the phone rings again and he picks it up "Halloo is that Mistar Wilsun?" ... "Yes" ... "Well I am calling you because I am believing that you owe me an apology" ... Amid all the laughing he managed to get something in about "hell freezing over" ...

But if your neighbour starts calling you with a sales pitch when you're settling down to relax for the night, then all bets are off...

I always interrupt the Indian caller and ask him if he likes cricket - to which every caller so far has said Yes. I then talk for a few minutes about the skills of Tendulkar,Kapil Dev etc and have a good old chat about cricket and then announce after a few minutes that I have to go and so I then end the call. Once I started doing this trick twelve months ago - the rate of the Indian calls has decreased remarkably as my phone number has probably now been marked "time waster" which is the worst type of person that these companies are wasting their resources on. Stay friendly to these callers as they are only doing their job - it's their bosses that should cop the abuse.

Why not just tell them to hang on a sec, and then put the phone down (without hanging up) and go about your business?

I start singing to them, that usually does the trick.
Cracked my kids up the other day when I started singing Lionel Ritchie's "Hello" to the phone spammer from India.
I only knew the first line so I made up the rest.
