I've taken an interesting approach to telemarketers. As soon as I get an actual human, I start Herobrine trolling them. So far I've only had two willing to sit through the whole thing, one actually recognized it. For the one that recognized it I actually listened through their whole thing before hanging up on them randomly.
Any amusing ways of dealing with telemarketers that don't lead to the police showing up at your place?

Do you have a lovely bunch of coconuts? Do you have them all standing in a row? Are there big ones, small ones, some as big as your head?
police would show up at your place? :blink.gif:
I used to scream at them for calling me from some other country to give me some 'free' item that I would have to go pick up and pay for but now I just hang up on them, and the worst thing is they ring back! so I hang up and they ring back again! So i say no and hang up and still... they ring back! They did it to me while I was sleeping once.. well to my partner and after the third time they ran back I took the phone off him and went right off at the stupid b**ch for calling us at 8pm after i had spent the last 12hrs at work and then before I hung up i asked for her number so we could ring her up later on to continue.. sadly they don't give there number out! funnily enough ever since then we haven't had a single telemarketer ring us haha

If they call after 8pm or more than once you can report them for harassment.
Only troll them if they are rude/refuse to take no for an answer / etc - I've never encountered a rude one or one that didn't say 'ok, thank you' and hang up when I said I wasn't interested.
These people are just trying to pay the bills, making their day harder before they've actually done anything wrong is quite immature.

Powers are for the weak. I have no powers. I mean - unless you count the power to blow minds with my weapons-grade philosophical insights. I'm a thought-o-coaster, I'm the conundrummer in a band called Life Puzzler.

This.
It's ****ing pathetic to screw with them-- they're working a **** job with **** pay and people find the nerve to troll them "FOR TEH LULZ XDDDD". Sure they may call at dinnertime, but an answer followed by a prompt hangup does the trick just fine.
