UncleE enjoys the car warranty one. He asks which car’s warranty has expired. It drives them bonkers.

My rules. Never speak before they do, never say yes because they can record a ‘yes’, and keep my phone set on only accepted call to those on my contact list.

Some get thought which I ignore.
I grew up with a party line.

I like the computer or tv one that says your computer has a virus! I tell them I don’t have one

That is my answer to every business, etc. wanting a cell phone number. Because they are so pushy about it, I have begun lying saying I do not have one. One group told me they needed it. I asked why. They said to send text messages to which I replied ”I do not want your text messages.” Unhappy they were. Care I did not.

Wednesday is the huge day for those calls. Sometimes rather than let it ring over to voice mail, I answer and pretend to be voice mail and DO NOT provide an option to leave a message. In fact, I do not even thank them for a call.

I pick up the phone, wait for the 'beep' that means they picked up from their autodialer, then I say "Your call is very important to us. Please leave a message and your number after the tone BEEP", then I hang up.
