This week I noticed I wasn't in the FP greys anymore. I also got off the phone with a telemarketer. After the jump.
"Hello?
"Yes?"
"How are you?"
"Okay."
"Excellent. So we are in your area and we are offering a $35 discount on our services for your duct cleaning."
"Duct cleaning?"
"Yes, $35 off for duct cleaning"
"Our duck ran away"
"Yeah..."
"We won't need your services, sorry".

Still the best telemarketer call I've ever heard.

One time my friend just ate chips really loudly for 10 minutes while on the phone with a telemarketer and 10 minutes later the telemarketer was like "So whatchu eating there sir."

That is brilliant. I've got to write down some ideas and test them. I wish I thought of this.

I signed up for some automotive magazines for free under the name Otto Von Bismarck, 19th Century German Chancellor, but I needed an automotive position, so I said I was CEO of AMG. They occasionally call asking for the CEO of AMG and I always get a laugh out of it.
My second alias, Francois Boulanger as the CEO of Peugeot doesn't get as many phone calls.

Answer "yes" to every question and see how far you can take it.

Last week I got a call from one of those sketchy Microsoft dudes. I eventually convinced him my power was out, despite the fact I was talking to him on a phone. I could come up with something better somehow next time...

When they ask how you are, say awful... they will usually still say thats great... then you can flip out on them for being rude!

I'm coming up with a completely fake nightmare relationship just off your suggestion.
