Woman shares how she deals with unwanted phone calls
We'd love to see the perspective of the caller when something like this happens...
The only people who might not mind receiving telemarketing calls are probably telemarketers themselves.
No one enjoys being interrupted by a sales pitch when they’re busy,
especially when they think the call is from someone important.
For many, these calls are just another nuisance in a day already packed with tasks, leaving little room for personal time.
People on social media have shared their creative (and sometimes amusing) ways of dealing with telemarketers. Some have put their babies on the phone, others use AI, and some even go a bit further in venting their frustration.
In a video, a woman shows how she handles an unwanted phone call. At first, it's unclear what she's up to when she pulls a frying pan from her kitchen cupboard, but it quickly makes sense as she uses the frying pan to cover her phone.
She answers the call, then proceeds to bang a spoon on the pan as if she's trying to chase away monkeys.
It’s definitely a chaotic response, but we get it. How many times can you say "I'm not interested" before they finally take the hint?
