Telemistake
This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff
United States
Backfired
Today, a telemarketer called for my dad. Jokingly, I said, "I haven't seen him for like five days… I'm starting to get worried," in my best child-like voice. Apparently the telemarketer called Child Protective Services. I'm 20. FML

I know somebody that has a child-like voice. She does stuff like that all the time.

I'd give the same story to the child protection agency... Mabey you could get a younger sibling or cousin to play the part for you. I'd say that thats still more of a win than a fail for you that the telemarketer beleived you.

That's an awesome way to prank a telemarketer! But of course you had to get one of those few that actually have consciences, huh? That sucks.

How does one become a Tele-Marketer?

move to Montreal, apply for any job that includes the words "motivated sales assistants," or "TSRs."
