How would you deal with someone one the phone whom you'd rather not talk to?
I was thinking maybe, ringing your own doorbell to fool them into thinking you've got someone at your door, so you can get off the phone with them.
But, what do you guys think? What would you do?

Ooh, Ghgt99, that's creative! Colorful language?

Yes, chitown, you could do that. Personally, I wouldn't find that much fun.

I always just hang in the middle of their sentence, but now that I'm seeing everyone's responses, I should think of something creative, too.

Maybe I'll just start blasting "Death Metal Friday" into the phone. I'd think that would work.

From Seinfeld

Jerry: This isn't a good time.
Telemarketer: When would be a good time to call back, sir?
Jerry: I have an idea, why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you back later?
Telemarketer: Umm, we're not allowed to do that.
Jerry: Oh, I guess because you don't want strangers calling you at home.
Telemarketer: Umm, no.
Jerry: Well, now you know how I feel.

It would depend on who it was. If it was someone who annoys you, but you don't want to be mean, just pretend like someone is calling you to do something.

How would you deal with someone who spills their drink on you and then doesn't apologize?


Spill your drink on them, then get another drink

Wow, TerryLasVegas, that is definitely the way to go.
That's just what I'd do. But, I'd pretend it was an
accident. I'd just sit there casually and then voila!
my drink'd be all over them! Cool huh?

Is it like a salesperson, a stalker, a ex-best friend, ect.

That might help a little.

You could just leave your phone off the hook in the first place.

I'm not really as original as some of the other people on here. Srry.

Oh, don't worry, thecattygrl, just be as wild or as hilarious as you want to be.
That's half the fun.

I'd just hang up on them. Shame on them for bugging me. God People suck.

I'd put some gasoline in a glass and "accidentally" spill it on them. Then, casually, from a safe distance, light a cigarette. Show the rest of the party what happens when you spill a drink on me.

I would probably say that I had to get my brother a snack, then ask how you do the Himlech (I know it's spelled wrong) maneuver and they would freak out.


Yeah, lame

I'd just say "sorry, I have to go" and then hang up.

Ernie, I love your remedies. They always make me laugh and not only that, they're totally worth trying.

Ernie you need some help. And if you did that YOU'd be in jail. I would just just not talk to them.
