A telemarketer threatened to kill me today.
About 15 years ago, as a joke , an employee of mine ordered some information to be delivered to the shop under the name Kip Winger. ever since then, I get junk mail in this name, and telemarketer calls all of the time looking for Mr. Kip Winger, this has been a blessing in disguise, as I can instantly spot a telemarketers call.
So today, I am busy, the phone rings, and my caller ID tells me the number is unavailable. I pick up, and the guy asks for Mr Kip Winger. I answer in my canned resopnse to these calls, "yeah, what can I do for you pal" in a cocky tone. Right away the guy starts flipping out, MF'ing me, he called me a dirty Mother F$%&&ing grease monkey, and starts telling me how much money he makes,and that he does not have to take sheet from a dirty grease bag like myself. I tell him that I believe him that he is making the bucks, and that I can remember what a high earner I was when I telemarketed at the age of 16. This only angers him more, He comes completely unglued, and violent at this point and he tells me that he was going to find and kill me . . I am now starting to enjoy this call, and I stopped working to continue to humor him. He again starts telling me how much money he makes, and he tells me how nice his house is . I told him that " I am sure you have the nicest trailer in the park". Now he is screaming bloody murder at me. He tells me he has my address, and I am a dead man. If he works in an office, he is surely fired, as he was yelling at the top of his lungs. What a tool! After all these years of phone solicitors harrassing me, I finally got to annoy one of them a little.

Awesome!!
I worked tech support, and had a guy that would lose it almost that bad every couple of weeks, but usually he'd manage to hide it from the nut on the phone.

You did well. It was a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

I had a guy cal me a few months ago tryingto sell credit insurance...
They always start off by saying that the call is being recorded for quality and training purposes. I asked him if they would be sending me a copy of the call. Then I asked him if he could guarantee that no excerpts from the phone call would ever get dubbed into a Dance Remix. At this point, he asked if I was making fun of him. I explained that if they had a call with Michael Jackson, that they could make millions by making a dance remix. He then launched into a 30 minute rant about how the banking industry has ethics against doing anything like that... I also like to ask the guys who are obviously calling from a call center in India, what the weather is like in Toronto or whatever town they are calling from - then I jump on the weather channel's website so see if they are lying. I point out that since they are not being honest with me, why should I do business with them.

I always liked Jerry Seinfeld's way of handling it:
(telemarketer) “Would you be interested in a subscription to the New York Times?” to which Jerry replies, “Yes!” and slams down the phone. (after answering a telemarketer's call), “I'm sorry, I'm a little tied up now. Give me your home number and I’ll call you back later. Oh! You don’t like being called at home? Well, now you know how I feel.”
