Fortunately my state has a NO CALL list that companies have to adhere to. It has cut the dinnertime calls to nill. Very nice. What is amazing to me is that EVERYONE hates getting these calls yet companies continue to utilize that sales method. Who in the world is listening to the speel then actually buying?

When they call just tell them that you are a business. Like make up the name of a company like when they ask to speak with John Doe, say...so and so indutries how may I help you? They are forced to disposition the call under a business and they wont call back.

I work graveyard shifts so I'm usually not in a good mood when they wake me up. However I do enjoy answering them then setting the phone down, and let them listen to silence

You can say that again.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] That is one good thing about a dial up connection, I just connect when I get home from work and disconnect when I wake up.

One thing I sometimes do is when I answer the phone and no answer after a couple hello's I get in a sorta high pitched tone and say h-H-Hello M-Min-n-nesot-t-ta M-M-M-ment-t-talll Ins-st-t-t-****-tution... they usually either hang up or say they have the wrong number [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] it works though, unless I burst out laughing sometimes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ok u wanna hear somehtin funny my phone number is 762-**** and a new pizaa place was 736-**** same last 4 digits as mine and in the same town and over 200 people called trying to order pizza after the 50th call me and my dad starting saying the SBCA i think its called closed us down because of rat infestation and cockrochs in the store and diner time was crazy the phone rang like crazy but finally we changed it after a while. we ordered a pizza to see if it was good cuz from all those calls we got i would think that people try the pizza and it was so nasty they dont make there own dough they use frozen pizza crusts and the tomato sauce tastes like one of those nasty preggu kind.
