HeHeHe
I work in a telephone services office, & have done telephony work for nearly 2 decades... one of my FAVORITE things @ work is when solicitors (or debt collectors!) call & harass our employees.
Luckily, so does my co-worker, Mike!
He is on the phone right now, with some nin-com-poop, who is tryin to sell him (Mike) a cellular phone... funny, cuz he called Mike's cell phone to pitch the stupid sale!!!
We are coming up with every dumb-ass question we can think of to ask this clown - and then placing him on 'mute' while he digs for answers!!! So far, we've asked:
Do you take paypal payments?
Can you make the caller ID show up as '1-800-IbIDIOT'
Will you cash a check for more than the purchase & send back the difference?
Can I have YOUR personal cell number in case of any problems?
My credit sux, will you use your credit instead?
Why don't they have social security numbers in India?
How much should my girlfriend give me each week as an allowance?
Is your name really 'Jack Daniels'?
Any other ideas???????
Billy

find out if they have service in Japan!!
I have been out of work for a year (Technical Support for the largest provider in the states), but used to be you could not use a cell phone from an outside carrier in Japan.

LOL - those are GREAT! (keep it up, since we get silly calls like this all the time!)
Also funny cuz it's our job to know the laws regarding harassment calls & collection agencies! I LOVE it when we give out a new cell number, & the last owner has collections calling 20 times a day. Sometimes they even become rude, & that's when I wear a huge smile - all while threatening legal action. These people can be MEAN! Oh well, it gives me warm fuzzies to make these jerks back off of innocent people!
OH! We kept 'Jack Daniels'* on the phone for over an HOUR, and even brought HIS boss in on the sale! He has promised to call back tomorrow...
LOL
*also ironic, cuz the actual Jack Daniels Distillery is only an hour from here

| Before the Do not call list, I used to hand the phone to my 2 year old and let him do the talking. |

ROTFLMAO... That is great!!.... Hope it was a real marketing call :-)
Edit: I found the best way is to say "just hold on while I swap phones.... (hit the mute and go away for a while)...

What if I'm on a terror watchlist? I mean, uh, hypothetically? Do you let the FBI monitor calls made on your network?

not to highjack this thread, but I got this call from this dude who obvisouly didnt understand the first time when I told him he had the wrong number. So when he called again I answered the phone in a deep pimp like voice: "Maggie's WhoreHouse! Can I help you?"
The dude choked, and said "hello?", I said, "Hi" and then Click... he never called me again. :)

ROFLMAO!!!!
Mike just got ANOTHER call, and now he sounds exactly like a little old lady!!! (It's kinda scary!) He keeps calling the person on the phone 'baby', 'sugar', 'honey' - and sounds JUST like somebody's frail, tiny little grandma!
Now he's asking if they are the same 'telephone man' that was at the house last week, and do they know where "her" underwear have gone! (This guy is a NUT... and used to work for Bellsouth! LOL)
Ok, I just had to share. :)
