Do you offer bread with that cheese?

Sorry, I'm in a serious witty prevention program.

Am I on clueless camera?

Sorry, I'm in a gaffe.

Do you spread it that thick on your crackers?

I prefer to wait for a newer version.

Did you just get out of the Rico Suave training?

Sorry, I don't work on [insert appropriate time here).

Could I have YOUR phone number so I could submit it to telemarketers?

I see dead people.



Please add at your ease.

telemarketer: Hello, is there a [insert your name here]
insert your name here: (mock weeping) They died yesterday!

Or, you could just talk to them in some made up language. That will get them off of the phone.

or you can talk to them in dragon tounge (Don't even get me started on why that's not the same thing)

Problem: too much junk mail getting to you via snail mail
solution: send each company a different company's junk

I'm not sure if it works, but I've heard that they will stop bugging you.

CK, I did something like that once. I returned a spam to the spammer (which was some company). I later got an email saying that I am not suppose to send any email to that address and something about being brought to court... well, I haven't been to court yet for anything so that is a good sign. lol

Tired of getting credit card offers in the mail? Do what I do. They usually come with a postage paid return envelope, take all the paper work in the letter and stuff it in the return envelope and chuck it in the mail box. Don't write anything on the paperwork, just send it blank. This won't stop you from getting more of them but company the offer is from has to pay the postage for the return envelope. There's no way of telling who sent it to them and if enough people start doing this it may cause the companies to stop sending them out because they're losing money on the return postage. Plus this little bit of revenge makes you feel like you're getting them back for all their junk mail.

Well... it's easier to turn people down by phone or mail, but face to face...
