Imagine having a robot to talk to telemarketers so you can sit and giggle as they waste their time.

I made it easy. I got rid of my landline and nobody but people I want to have it has my cell. I never hear from telemarketers.

I put the number in my contact list. Neat idea.

Pretty interesting psych project for sure! The last one was really funny with the 'telemarketer' swearing at the robot and the robot just 'taking it'!! LOLOLOL!!!

Years ago, when the long distance wars were going on, when they called, I would just tell them that I didn't need long distance since I didn't have a phone. My comment was always followed by a long pause, then usually they would just say OK and hang up.

One guy who called about a credit card, I just hollered at and asked if he was the guy having an affair with my wife. He couldn't get off the phone fast enough. I used to use their calls as a way to torture them, legally that is.
