Talk to a Telemarketer Day - If a telemarketer calls you today, be friendly! Ask probing personal questions, share long, pointless anecdotes from your childhood - let them know how much you enjoy hearing from them!
One time, at a friend's house, he answered the phone and told the telemarketer that the person she asked for wasn't there, as he had died in a fiery car accident yesterday, and would she like to talk to his grieving widow--and handed the phone to me. I was laughing so hard I really was crying.
I have weird friends, and I think that took the cake for intimidating telemarketers.
