I have recently developed a fear of telephones. I just think the whole concept is scary. I am so tired of receiving phone calls from telemarketers trying to selling anything from insurance policies to washing powders. Just fad up men ……… receiving , refusing, arguing. But I don’t know what the hell they are made of………. They are so strong and shameless they keep requesting and requesting and requesting. They are same energetic but I am tiered now of saying no over and over. Literally when telephone rings I get scared of those. Sometimes I just lay the phone down and go do something else for awhile. Or sometime I shout of them. But these are of no use. I don’t know why the telephone always rings when I am in bathroom, or when I m on door trying to get rid of a salemen who is trying to sell me some product……. Or when I am in hurry to prepare luch as I m already late. It always happen when I am damn busy. Don’t know how the hell they know when I am too busy. But now I have started experimenting with them. You can also try my few successful experiments




    1. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "Why do you want to know?" Alternately, you can tell them, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my stomach is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died..." When they try to get to the sell, just keep talking about your "problems."

      (2) If they say they're ABC from the XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.

      (3) When i am in the mood, is pretending to be the maid. I migth say "No i am not the head of the house. They left for a vacation , i am the housecleaner". And naturally i make my accent a lot heavier...lol....It works like magic anytime.....lol..
