Telemarketer's Nightmare
I definitely don't want to be in this telemarketer's shoes. This is really funny and worth trying the next time I get a call from a telemarketer *grins*. Thanks Slawek for sharing this!
The phone rang as I was sitting down to my anticipated evening meal, and as I answered it I was greeted with “Is this Karl Brumme? Not sounding anything like my name, I asked who was calling. The telemarketer said he was with The Rubberband Powered Freezer company or something like that.
Then I asked him if he knew Karl personally and why was he calling this number. I then said off to the side, “get really good pictures of the body and all the blood”, then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to appear in the local courthouse to testify in this murder case.
I then questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead! guy and could he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this call. The telemarketer was getting very concerned and his answers were given in a shaky voice. I then told him we had located his position and the police were entering the building to take him into custody, at that point I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away.

haha.
all i know is i'm merciless when i get a call from a poorly trained TM. or any service staff, for that matter.
*laughs* Sometimes I feel sorry for them when they catch me when I'm in my foulest mood. But hey, that's life. I think we are good training to prep them for the real world...can deal with us, can deal with anyone no?
