0_o Do salesmen take classes in how to be overly pushy?

[themadpoker]

Umm wow. Salesmen can get really pushy nowadays. >_< Yeah, this guy called asking me to try some free trial for a month with Bell that makes calls out of Canada cost less or something like that. I kept trying to tell him I was not interested but gah. As soon as I said anything he just said "Don't you make calls outside of Canada?" So he kept going on and on and eventually I just said to give me time to think about it and call tomorrow. V_V He said he'll call at the same time, maybe I'll just not answer any calls before 9?

So what you do now is when he calls (they usually do call back), put on a crazy accent and start yelling at him. Or be like, "I don't have a telephone, go away!!" just to mess him up. It usually scares them off.... and it's quite fun.

XD Actually, I have a neighbour, and if he gets a young girl calling he'll start pretending to be a pedophile. "You have a pretty voice... how big are you?" and stuff like that. Heh.

Does sound fun. :( I'll probably be too much of a wimp though. I didn't even try to interrupt him when he start repeating himself for fear of being rude. >_<'
