My girlfriend kept getting calls from telemarketers, so I handled it - General

She was getting collection calls for some guy named Louis and after multiple times of telling people that she was not Louis they kept calling. I answered the phone and turned on my recorder. They have not called back since this... [video=youtube;tzJTDvcQUj0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzJTDvcQUj0[/video]

Genuinely funny. Good voice acting, or do you sound like that all the time?

that was great

You could pull off the "Italian mobster" voice so easily. Great voice acting!

god damn louie.

I want the heartshaped steak now

Ahahaha oh wow thats just fantastic!

I was expecting you to be a huge dick or something but this was genuinely funny. Good job! You made someone's day I'm sure.

That was actually hilarious. "I gotta walk them out and upside-down" I was trying to eat when that happened. A whole mouthful of milk and raisin bran poured back into my bowl.

looooooooooooooooooool I got something way similar to this, so I threatened to call the police for harassment and they immediately hung up and never called again.

You are amazing sir. I tip my fedora to you.

Probably the best and most of all funniest way to have handled this. Good on you man.

You sound like a guy from The Sopranos.

"The pork store!" Oh man like it's been said I was expecting you to be a dick but you had the operator laughin' the whole way good on ya man.

This is great

I was expecting some stupid "prank call" stuff, but I like the way you handled it. Really digging the voice, and I think it's really neat that the telemarketer had a sense of humor to fit with all of it. Pretty sure you made that lady really happy about her job. I'm sure most telemarketers don't enjoy their line of work. It's probably just like going door to door trying to do a fundraiser only to get the door slammed on you at every house, except they're doing it for a living. Good job, man, seriously.

this makes me happy, you are a good person

so rare to find a telemarketer with a good sense of humour. I've met several and they all hate their job and all the ones that call me don't find my jokes funny at all.

I know someone named Louis Rivera...

[QUOTE=Luc1f3r;44417015]I know someone named Louis Rivera...[/QUOTE] Does he make good steak?

I sorta wish I was good enough to do this, I just end up blocking them on Google Voice. They get a number disconnected message, nobody gets fruatrated or yelled at, and I never hear from them again. No way to lose.

i love this

This is probably what happens when you call Robert De Niro.

We tell them to not call us any more, to put us on their do-not-call list. They still call.
