Default stupid noob telemarketer...hahah

so my dad got a call from a telemarketer from his bank offering identity theft protection or some crap like that. he gives me the phone to translate for him. right away i could tell the moron was reading from a script. very slow and deliberate with his words. i just took the phone away from my ear and started laughing, i didnt hear most of what he said. when i told him no, he started reading from another script. pure comedy. :lmao:

I always fuck with them for a good laugh.

If there selling identity theft protection, id say something like nobody can steal my name, what's wrong with you? They go on and on in their speech, i'll just question them to death. Like does this protect my balls too? I don't want anybody trying to steal them. Oh, so how much does it cost I thought protection was free? Your daughter was free! etc etc...

Oh the sleep number bed! They called me one day, I was saying does this bed hold up to some rough animal like sex? The obviously older lady was laughing, I said seriously! Will my number go up with this number bed your selling? Does it come with a strap on? Girls are really tired of my bed, it's hard. Just how they like it. Then we get on the floor.

They have a hard time hanging up usually, there on some type of dial system. If they get mad, you can request a manager and get them in trouble. It's comedy...

whenever a telemarketer calls my uncle and starts babbling, my uncle says "Wait a minute, I think you're looking for Mr. Couch.." and he sets the phone down on the couch and leaves. :lmao:

I act like I can't hear and completely misinterpret what they are saying and I yell, and talk with an accent. They probably think I'm a crazy old man...Oh wait I am.
