10 ways to stop all those irritating calls

1.    After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask him/her to marry you. 
 

2. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask  him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call  him/her back.


3. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.   


4. Tell them it is dinner time, BUT ask if they would please  hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure.  Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation. 


5. Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and  hand the phone to your five year old child.


6. Tell them  you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak  up...louder. ..louder. ..louder!
 

7. Tell them to  speak very slowly because you want to write every word down.   


8. If they start out with, "How are you today?", say "I'm so  glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these   problems.... ........" 


9.Cry out in  surprise, "Helen, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?"  When they insist they are not Helen, tell them to stop joking. This works  especially well if the telemarketer is really MALE. 
 
 
10.Tell the HSBC call center guy to call on  your   office number. - and give him the ICICI call center number.
