There's this thing I have called "the answering machine". I use it all the time. And if they talk and they leave a message, there's this things on the machine called "delete". Press it, problem solved.

I don't see why people treat telemarketers as anything less than a human. They're doing their job, not so you can make an ass of them, but to get by and live their life. I politely tell them I'm not interested and hang up, as I always will.

Can I just point out that, while they are incredibly annoying, they're just trying to earn a living. They don't deserve to be abused or led on and have their time wasted when they're salary is dependant almost entirely on sales.

I just say, "Sorry, I'm not interested. Thank you, goodbye."

^ This.

It's boring in threads like this but I know sitting at a phone all day is horrible, let alone calling people who do not want to hear your calls. :( Feels bad, man. Also if they bug you that much, there should be a "No call" list you can register your number for.

(Though now that we finally have caller ID at home, I just don't pick up if I don't recognize the number.)
