Telemarketer Mugs

"Oh, I'm really sorry. I just placed three million with some broker who called five minutes ago."

"I'm sorry – you have the wrong language."

Very busy at Indian call centre. Laid-back in UK office. Man asks: 'Could we outsource tea-making?'

"I'm starting to think humans don't even like winning free cruises."

"Insurance, anyone?"

'Try recording it again but this time, don't laugh when you say, 'Your call is important to us'.'

'Well, yes, the fine print is in Arabic, but it's a wonderful language.'

'I hate cold calls.'

"To verify you are the person who answered the phone, May I have your social security number and a major credit card."

'What makes you think I'm in telemarketing?'

'We Want Our Jobs Back'

"Do you think computers will take our jobs?"

Telesales - "Good evening, could I speak to the dog of the house?"

"That guy is incredible! He's coaxed the fish to invest 20,000 bucks...in catfood stocks!"

'Thank you for calling civil liberties - your call may be recorded...'

Nuisance Direct: 'No, we're not selling anything - we just like to piss you off.'

'Jones, you're not LOL.'

'No, I wouldn't like a free quote for central heating! Where did you get this number?'

He's listened to 'Mull of Kintyre' eleven times and he's still holding.

"We have a wonderful research department and they've identified you as a potentially hot prospect."

'The fact that I'm not a telemarketer hasn't stopped women from putting me on their 'Do Not Call' list.'

'This call may be monitored for quality, so you'd better have a good reason for bothering us.'

"OMG! You're still there! I'm going to have to out you on hold again while I figure out another way to get rid of you."
