I had one call me one time, and they asked to speak to the man of the house and I said this is his wife how may I help you? They told me they wanted to know our shopping habits. I told them that hubby was out shopping, the asked where and I said I don't know all he told me was that he was shopping. But if you would like to call back after my nap he might be home from shopping. Good bye. Then I hung up.

Hubby always use to tell them that the man or woman of the house was dead.

My grandma one time got a call from a woman who said that my father just called them to see if he could be approved for a mortage, so they were calling him back. They approved him for $200,000, my grandma replied with, wow how did you talk to him, last time I checked the man was dead. Will you please tell him his family misses him and his kids want him to come home? The telemarketer hung up on her. But that was all the truth.
