      Cool Telemarketers

      I just got a telemarketer call, trying to lower my credit card interest rates. As per usual, I pressed 1 after the recorded intro to talk to a live representative, and tried to sell him a pizza.

      Not quite as per usual, he wanted the pizza. It went about as follows:

      Guy: [In an Indian accent] "Hello sir, I see you pressed 1 because you would like to lower your interest rates?"

      Me: [In a terrible Middle Eastern accent] "No, I did not."

      Guy: "Sorry sir? Then why did you press one?"

      Me: "This is Johnston's Pizza. We're having a sale currently: a large pizza with any two topping for just $10!"

      Guy: "Give me a moment." [Puts me on hold]

      Guy: [Back now] "Just a moment please." [Muffled noises, someone else talking in the background]

      Guy 2: [A new voice comes on the line, with a middle American accent] "Yes?"

      Me: [Scrapping the accent now] "Hi! Would you like to order a pizza? We're having a special today, one large pizza with two toppings, only $10."

      Guy 2: "Yeah, I would like to order a pizza."

      Me: [Holding back laughter now] "What toppings would you like on that, sir?"

      Guy 2: "Can I get onions, and ketchup on the side?"

      Me: "And what address would you like this delivered to, sir?"

      Guy 2: [Sounding flabbergasted] "What? You don't have my address?!"

      Me: "Of course, not, you haven't given it to me yet!"

      Guy 2: "Oh my God!" [Hangs up]

      *~*~*~*~*

      It's not often a telemarketer goes along like that; it made my night, and I hung up the phone laughing. My dad was shaking his chair laughing as I explained what had transpired. It was nice to find someone with a good sense of humor.

      Anybody else got any similar stories, or just stories of what you do to telemarketers? Half the time I try to introduce them to lucid dreaming (it's worked a couple times; I'm pretty sure I've got DV a couple new members this way), the other half I just come up with whatever random bullshit I can think up on the spot. Usually it's better than the above, sometimes it isn't.

      Post your experiences!
