12. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask them if they will give you their home phone number so you can call them back. When the telemarketer explains that they cannot give out their home number, you
say, "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home right?" The telemarketer will agree and you say, "Now you know how I feel!" Hang up.
13. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
14. Tell them it is dinnertime, but ask them if they would please hold.

Here's how one person found a way to be just as irritating
to them. The call was from AT&T and it went like this:
Me: You said you'd give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That comes to $144
per day, $1,008 per week and $52,560 per year. I'm just
interested in knowing how you will be making the payments.

These days, as soon as I get a generic "may I speak to the
person in charge of the POS processing" or "may speak to the
onwner" ..and since they don't use my name in full, I just say,
"Not interested" ..and I hang up. That's a much simpler, and
faster solution and I can get back to what I doing before that
sooner.
Regarding exchanges where they would have you answer "YES"
during a seemingly innocuous exchange, they could record your
various "YES" responses and claim that you agreed to signing up
or buying what they were selling.
No thanks.. the sooner you hang up, the better your life will
be.

Revenge On Telemarketers:
The best one was when I got a call and asked them to wait a minute.
I handed the phone to the guy next to me: Nick, my companie's Microsoft representative.
"Hey, Nick. Microsoft is saying there's something wrong with my computer." I thought I was good at harassing these people, but Nick took things to a whole new level.
I remember getting calls from "Microsoft" at work. (I worked in the
I.T Dept of a large mid-western retailers.) Needless to say, I wasn't happy with the scam call.
I would give their Indian accent right back at them. Many of the people
in the I.T. Dept were from India so I had the accent down good - and
the Indian people I worked with HATED these scammers even more than I
did so they did not take offence when I did this.
