Today, a telemarketer called me and asked if they could speak to my "mommy or daddy". I am 25 years old. FML

Next time, use your best Consuela voice. Thats what I always do. Is your mommy there? No, no, I have no money.

I get this aalll the time. It's no big deal, just let them know they've made a mistake. I like to advise them that my mummy and daddy have divorced and don't live with me, and ask if they'd like to speak to my husband. I get apologies every time.

Explain that it's no disgrace to move back home with your parents in this difficult economy. Then, give the phone to your mommy or daddy.

It's spelt won't. "at least you won't age." Want is if you want something. Sorry, had to correct it, especially since a and o are on opposite sides of the keyboard.

Wow 34, you have truly enlightened me. I had no idea what "want" meant before now.

Honestly, I'm just sick of seeing people use "want" when they mean "won't." They mean 2 different things.

Why are you people all telling him to say ANYTHING to these bottom feeders? Just yell "Take me off your call list!" in your highest, squeakiest voice, and then hang the hell up.

Everybody's got to have a job Doc. Not all of us get the joys of your job. ;)

I tell them that I'm busy now and ask them for their home number so that I can call them when I get some time to spare to discuss the advantages of a pap smear (every 3 yrs now) :)...

Good way to get rid of those pesky telemarketing calls. Pretend to be a child!

Another good one is to tell them you are unemployed. Then start telling them about your medical issues, especially if they involve the lower GI tract.

That's when you mess with them and tell them you haven't seen your mommy or daddy and days and you're hungry and scared

You can always tell them that they're not there so you dont have to listen to them the whole day.

This happened to me when I was just after turning 20. I have a regular enough sounding voice, except when I am on the phone. I got a call from the bank and the asked for my parents too. I sound like a five year old on the phone, once even my own mother mistook me for me kid niece!

Oh, no, you missed out on a chance to talk to a telemarketer? That's so sad! Usually my conversations with them are enlightening and spiritually uplifting. They always offer me products carefully selected for me that invariably make my life fulfilling and transcendent!
