I just hang up.
Though once my mom got pissed at one telemarketer after she kept beating around the bush. "Hello how are you" and all that BS.
A couple days latter she actually got a hand written apology from the caller.

Just answer in an Asian or Indian accent. Speaking from experience on the Call Centre i work in i hate talking to ppl with thick asian or indian accents. The never understang my Irish accent and i believe they should make some fucking effort to learn the language before they fall off the boat and steal our Social Security Benefit.

Better response: "You mean you don't want me calling you at home?"Darth Wong wrote:Preferred answer: "Please give me your phone number and I'll call you back."
They will answer something like: "It's not our policy to give out our phone number."
Explain: "My policy is never to deal with anyone I don't know. Sorry." *click*

A few ideas here: http://www.idleworm.com/gms/telem.shtml
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
