Telemarketing is generally really really annoying.
But now we can fight back effectively.
The Telemarketing Counterscript

Fantastic. Fortunately I don't get many calls like that...

Very nice.
Remaining silent is a simple yet entertaining approach. The longer you do this, the more it tends to unsettle them. They burn through their entire spiel at an accelerating rate.

Oooohh, that's cruel.
I like it :]

Fortunately I rarely get those kind of calls these days, but the last one was very entertaining.

I get loads of those for some reason.... probably my bank giving my phone number out, bastards.

Have you got a translation of that into Spanish though?

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately I don't :(
I'm surprised it hasn't been translated into Spanish considering some of the other languages there...

[sliding-loopz.livejournal.com]

ooh that made me grin! :) ta

[themadcatlady.livejournal.com]

Hey, I was joking there.... ;)

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

No worries, I was actually surprised when I saw that it hadn't been translated into Spanish...

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember that post.
I really coulcn't help but giggle. Poor telemarketing guy... :]

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Now if only I can have it to hand the next time I get such a call.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and especially if it's someone who's not too bright he might forget who called who... :)

awwww, i have no pity for them! I did the job for 6 hours and saw the kind of immoral idiots that stay in the job, they deserve it!

[izzi-redhead.livejournal.com]

would you really like it translated to Spanish? I enjoy translating, so I could do so if you don't want it in a hurry!

[themadcatlady.livejournal.com]

No, I was really just joking, but thank, hehe!

You know, I have only been learning Spanish for 1 1-2 years, and I can speak it fairly well, but I still have problems understanding people when they speak back to me, with their slang language and all that! So I would probably not even understand anything I should be answering too.

But THANKS! LOL

[izzi-redhead.livejournal.com]

No problem! I grew up in Spain, was there for 11 years and so I speak it really quite well, although I am losing it a bit. But it would be different anyway, because I speak Andalucian slang, which is of course not the same as any other part of Spain's!

I don't suppose the Telemarketers speak slang and the likely thing is that they aren't even Spanish!

Look after Lars nicely, won't you!

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Groovy, let us know how you get on... :]
