I like telemarketers. I love answering the phone and asking what they have to offer only to find out I can't buy it. My typical convo with one is as follows,

Me: Hello?
TeleMarketer: Hello. I am from so and so and I'm selling brand new one of a kind rugs imported from Persia. Are you interested?
Me: Yes, what colours do they come in?
TM: Oh, many different colours. Red, blue, green and sometimes a combination of all tree!
Me: Ah. How much is it?
TM: $1000 per rug.
Me: What a good price!
TM: I'm taking that you would like to buy it?
Me: Oh yes! Sadly, my parents aren't home but you can call back in about three or four hours and I'll let them talk to you.
TM: -_-' Okay. Thank you. Bye.
Me: Bye bye now.

I love it. They're so nice and fun to talk to! Trust me, when they call back it's funner. They seem much nicer when they do.

Yes, thats the typical conversation between them and me. It is quite funny, actually. They think I'm grown up because I sound exactly like my mom on the phone, and then they sound so disappointed when I say, 'Yeah... I'd love to, you know? But I have to ask my parents first...'

How I love my mum's name. They can't pronounce it. "Sorry, there's no one here by that name." =)

"Telemarketers are barred from calling cell phones under rules set by the FCC."
