don't be harsh to them, it's just some poor prk like you trying to earn a living
it's not like it's the CEO of the company or anything

the best is if they ask you to do a questionnaire, go with it and do the questionnaire (giving stupid answers obvs) up until about 2 questions from the end then just hang up... they cant use the data as it's incomplete and you have wasted their time

either that, or pretend to be one of your family tell them that you've died and that you find it offensive that you keep getting phonecalls

start telling them your deepest, most intimate emotions, worries and concerns.

Tell them you'll complete their survey if they complete your survey first!

I get people calling me at work to sell me everything from xerox toner, light bulbs, to cleaning services

I just tell them that "we have just resigned a contract with our toner supplier"

wish I could tell them to fuck off

we should also do a thread "things to say to bill collectors" LOL

"Hi this is NAME HERE from ABBREVIATION HERE"
"I'm not interested"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED?"
"Piss off"
*hangup*

yeah, true

but the toner people are shady..

they pretend they are with my company and say "I'm from corporate and I'm calling to see if you need any toner"

if you keep talking to them they try to trick you and next thing you know it you have agreed to $500 in toner cartridges

but our xerox orders that shit itself when it gets low

shady mofo's
