No no! Don't hang up! I'm wondering what you do, if anything, to combat telemarketing calls in your home.
  1. listen to the whole spiel, then say no as much as necessary
  2. hang up once they say something to show it's telemarketing
  3. hang up when nobody says "Hi!" when you answer (i.e. computer is routing call because you answered)
  4. never answer the phone
  5. at first opportunity, ask to be removed from call list
  6. remove your number from the call list because you work at the telemarketing company
  7. use complicated math equations to get them to stop bugging you
  8. other

I hate to ruin any fun you derive, but it's just a computer calling you, no people are involved until you say hello...

Permit me to revise my thesis...

"'I'm letting it ring and there's nothing you can do about it.' That's me sending a message to the establishment."

Better?

THAT'S MY WORD!

If there's a twatwaffle in your vocabulary, it's fate...

Nope, just sexcellent. And I must protest, I was using that word while you were still in grade 9, you young whippersnapper.

You were going through your midlife crisis in the 80s, weren't you?

Oh hush. I'm only 29 -- I've only just completed my quarter-life crisis!(I hope)
