Pfft, you are such a nice person for letting them on the phone that long. I usually give the person 10 seconds and then hang up "accidently." 89% never call back, for the rest I tell them "sorry my phone doesn't. . . *CLICK*" Never got a third call back. Sometimes when I'm feeling like the biggest jackass though, I get real personal. I'll ask them questions like, well do you use the *x-product* yourself? Or, I'll ask them for their number to call back *ala seinfeld, hehe* the greatest thing is to actually get all into it and ask as many possible questions and then decide not to go with whatever it is. But usually I never have that kind of energy and just hangup.

I'll have to remember that stuff. sounds like fun. my buddy was a telemarketer for the UCLA Annual fund. they hit up alum for even more money. he hated it so much he quit after a week. needless to say they have the highest turnover rate of any UCLA job.

why would they see you in court? are you talking about a collections agency? telemarketers just try to sell you stuff.
