getting telemarketers to repeat the name "Heywood Jablomi"

[Jonny Z]

there's absolutely nothing more satisfying in the entire world than getting them to repeat that name back to you.

Explain, please.

Explain, please.

Say it aloud.

at work, we get tons of telemarketers calling in, and i always find ways to fuck with them to avoid doing any real work.

so today, daily news called to offer me a cheap subscription rate, and i pretended to be a little kid and said my dad wasnt home and i told them to call back in an hour and ask for "Heywood Jablomi"

i spelled it out for her (the woman had kind of an accent, so it was understandable that she didn't get the joke) and then i asked her to repeat the name back to me to make sure she had it right- then i put the call on speaker phone so everyone could hear and crack up... i started to giggle too- i hope she didn't hear.

And how exactly have you been able to get them to repeat it back to you without saying it first and sounding like an ass?

You really think I'm an idiot, don't you. I meant that he should explain how you get a telemarketer, who usually calls asking for you by name, to repeat some other fake, joke name.

i say heywood like normal, but then i either say jablomi really fast and say it like it's a foreign sounding name (jah-blem-ee) or i just spell it out for the person without pronouncing it. i'm a pro, junior

well actually when they called, they asked for someone that doesnt even work or live here and i said theres no one by that name here- which was the first clue to it being a telemarketer- but even if they ask for someone who works here, ill pretend like its a wrong number- at which point, they'll still want the sale and try to push whatever they're selling on me anyway

I find sex to be more satisfying. But maybe that's just me.
