    When people call selling meat (like Omaha Steaks) I tell them I'm a Vegetarian. That shuts them up quickly!

    Those replies are killing me-------I never know how to get rid of them and sometimes I get so upset when I've jumped out of the shower to answer the phone only to hear a telemarketer's voice. All these hints are going to be so much fun to use...

    Well, once when they called and ask if this was the lady of the house I ask which lady do you want, this is a whore house......They hung the phone up in a hurry!!!!!! I know that sounded bad but it's a quick solutation to the problem

    I have been known to bang the receiver against the table several times.. Usally they hang up then.. Also when they ask if I am the person of the house I will say no, but can I have them call you back.. Click they hang up again..

    Apparently my voice sounds young over the phone because telemarketers would always ask to speak with my Mom or Dad Thank goodness for the Do Not Call list!!

    Even after the Do Not Call list came about, I still get a lot of telemarketing calls.
    Because of caller ID, I don't pick them up. But I have reported them on the complaint feature of the Do Not Call list.

    My biggest complaint is that I receive a lot of faxes selling stocks, insurance and other things. It bugs me because they are always in huge bold type and use tons of toner to print out. Those little cartridges are expensive!

    Once, they gave a fax number for me to use to send something back to them.
    I sent their original fax back to them about a dozen times. Haven't heard from them since.

    I have reported those too, if there is a phone number to report. It seems to have helped because I receive a lot less of them.
