I need to try a few of these! These are the BEST!!!!!
My husband will answer in an accent, and say something to the effect of "You callin' about the car? It's only $350 real cheap, you buy?" We always giggle in the background.
These are great.
Jim answered the phone once and the sales person asked for me. He responded "This is Deanna". Total silence on the other end. Then they said, "You're Deanna?" Jim responded indignantly about how tired he was of people thinking he was male because of his deep voice and how insulted he was. They hung up on him.
Do you remember the show Becker? He would tell them to hang on and then blasted one of those really loud horns (I don't know if those horns have a proper name, but they sound like those loud buzzers at sporting events) into the speaker of the phone. Cracked me up every time! ;)
These are really funny. I always forget to try something like that, and just politely say we are not interested and hang up. My hubby tells them to wait whilst he goes to turn the hob off, and then leaves them for ages!! Ali x
Those are hilarious! I've actually done the one where you ask for their phone number, and they've given me the 800 #, so I told them I wanted their HOME number! They shut up pretty quickly!
Oh my, I have to try some of these. I sometimes just speak in English (live in France) or my favourite is just to keep say Hello until they hang up. A xx
I'd have to get a phone to do any of these...but in my imagination... heeeh heeeehhhhhheeehhh... :)
