Blow a whistle in their ear

I thought I was the only one who used the whistle routine. Had a very persistent and annoying telemarketing agency bugging me a while back....no more. I asked them to please stop calling. They persisted. I asked again. They continued their unwarranted calls. After blowing a whistle they finally left me alone. In the beginning, I was nice and asked them to please stop calling, but politely asking wasn't being heard.

"JUST SAY YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED AND HANG UP."

Wow! Someone just doesn't get it. Don't you think people have been doing that for YEARS??!! It doesn't work. In fact, it sometimes is a signal to add the number and name to other lists out of spite. I know because I used to work as a telemarketer too. This is what we were told to do.

You do realise, don't you, that the only hearing you've damaged with your brilliant "whistle routine" is your own, right?

I farted on my phone as a retaliation to this number calling me several times.  I feel like I may have done more harm to myself than them, now my phone has this odd smell to it.

It's good to finally air out some of the methods others have had even limited success with.

That technique is much more effective with facetime or skype.

I once placed the phone up against a mirror and faced it so the caller could listen to himself until he tired and hung up on himself !

i get them too I  m sick n tired of the bs I get on the phone all they want is $  n I don't have any xtras  I  m on a very fixed income n I will do the whistle  most of what I get are robo calls n the whistle will stop them dead.   I don't get many now   thank god  I refuse to be tormented by these sicko ppl that aren't even there  no mess no 1 there so that's my way of fixing their robo  system,  had enough

Heh. Maybe you can stick it in a bag of rice to absorb the smell. It works for moisture so who knows? It may work for smells.

As my Father would have said: "That's what you get for doing something stupid."
I would suggest some Lysol or Fabreze to combat the smell.

Good one!

What part of "the whistle will only hurtyour ears" do you not understand?

I agree that blowing a whistle is not an effective way to stop or reduce calls and may even increase the amount of calls for all the previously mentioned reasons but please explain to how me blowing a whistle would hurt my ears.

You using Cracker Jack whistles? Or just blowing a little puff into the whistle?
Blowing a loud whistle inside the house means the sound reflects off the walls and back to your ears, unlike in gymnasiumss and outdoors.
If you have a buildup of ear wax it helps reduce the loudness that impacts your eardrums.
