Tyme's response to telemarkers

[Tyme2fish]

Anyone heard of Tom Mabe? Well this was my version recently.

Caller: Hello. May I speak to Tyme?
Me: This is Tyme. Who is calling please?
Caller: This is so and so calling from the Indiana Chiefs of Police Association.
Me: I swear I paid those warrants!! I don't want to go to jail!!
Caller: No. I'm not calling about anything like that. I'm calling to ask..
Me: Do you want money?
Caller: Well, we are asking donations for...
Me: I already told you I spent all my money on those last warrants and don't have a dime to my name.
Caller: Thank you. Click


Second Call(Automated voice) Please remain on the line while this call is completed.

Tyme: I remain on the line to hear what is going to happen.
Caller: (With an obvious Bangladesh/Indian accent). Ollo. This is Steve. To Cynthia (my wife's made up name) may I speak.
Tyme: This is Cynthia.
Caller: You are Cynthia? To me you do not sound like a Cynthia.
Tyme: Hey, you called me and now you disrespect me by making fun of my name!!!
Caller: Oh, so sorry am I. Please forgive me. I am calling...
Tyme: Hey "Steve" or whatever your real name is, I don't care why you're calling. You're wasting my time and disrespecting my name!! I then say some things that can't be repeated here and hear the phone click. He hasn't tried to call "Cynthia" since.

Yes. I am on the Do Not Call list but lately we have started to receive calls from outside the U.S.A.

I HATE TELEMARKETERS!!!!!! But I do enjoy playing games with them!!

the credit card callers are really fun

when they tell you how much the card is good for tell just to send you the money cause you are laid off and really could use the cash. usually it gets real quiet

I always tell them I don't own my house I just rent and that usually disqualifies you for their offer.

Regarding Tom Mabe, he is a Bullitt County boy, but we are not all as funny as he is!
