so then what is the point of having a home phone then


There is no point and that's why more and more people are opting for no land line.

Caller ID. Always nice to see a Douglas Adams reference though.

There is no point and that's why more and more people are opting for no land line.

I guess because it's cheaper than paying for several cell-phones for a family? Some people just don't like the idea of being contacted anywhere at anytime by anyone who knows their number? There's a few good reasons I can think of.

Okay, there's lots of ways to handle telemarketers, but this has to be one of the funniest.

I usually tell them that I'm in a kind of a hurry because my house is on fire and my children are burning inside

Hey, it's annoying, but either you troll for a few seconds or you hang up. Don't waste their time.

Quick note about that 42 reference from guide to the galaxy. The answer of the meaning of life is not actually 42. The robot was just trolling them cause she couldn't figure out what the ultimate question was.

So everytime someone is like "dude you dont get it? go watch the movie!". I say I did and I'm pretty sure you are the one who needs to watch it again.

As I was posting the radio show vid, I was thinking about this one. I LOFL for days when I first heard it. Thanks for posting it.

lol this seems like a good idea ... ahha I'm going to try it next time, I usually tell them to take my number off their list and that I don't want what they are selling. If they happen to call a second time I tell them I got called last time and I asked to get my number off their list and to fuck off,

EDIT:

lol that Tom Mabe one is genius ahah gay lover

Hang up if you're in a hurry, but otherwise this is a perfect opportunity to fuck with someone. They have to keep talking to you until you hang up so take advantage. Once I got a call while reading a book so I proceeded to read out loud to the telemarketer for about 15 minutes. Now that I'm on that national don't call list I never get any telemarketers unless they call from out of the country, apparently they found a loophole by calling from Canada, so I rarely get a chance to try out some new ones I've been saving up (leaving the phone next to my headphone speaker while playing some hardcore porn, asking if whatever they're selling can be used with my balls, etc...).

Crap, shoulda noticed it was posted earlier.....

I also posted the Tom Mabe one. He's got other good ones.

But yea, that is definitely the best way of going about it. Fuck around with them.

I'm curious to know how the telemarketer himself felt - sounds as if he were pretty impressive in his ability to stick with a pitch (something I would have difficult caring about), and I'm more curious what his response to your meaning of life question answer was.
oh telemarketers, you cutesy fellows.

-Apparently i need to be more creative in dealing with telemarketers, I'm just the good ol hangup or whatnot, though we hardly get them anymore.

Haha the Seinfield one! I'll definitely try that next time... that is if I ever pick up the home phone ever again. =P

I think I need to rewatch that movie again. I didn't realize I messed up the phrase. Sorry TL, I am disappoint )=

Oh you only know it from the movie? My life is so sad now.

Please read the books.
