I figure if I am as nasty as possible to them they will hate thier job. If the job is so bad, they will have to pay more to hire people. This cuts into profits, the only way to shut them down is to make it too expensive to operate.
I discuss with them thier mothers desire to perform felacio after sodomy. that usually gets them going.
I keep receiving what I call... "junk" cell phone calls. Can't get rid of them. Thank heavens my Samsung has a block/reject caller list. I now have 22 pnone numbers on it and all are from distant area codes. It's time our "Big Brother Government" puts an end to this madness!!!! It's now to the point when I see an unknown ph #.. I reject it and never answer. Sort of kills the reason to have a phone.
Don't hold your breath expecting the government to actually do anything. They won't. The calls will continue, and the Feds will continue to collect taxes while doing nothing that is expected of them. Those taxes are not used to enforce the law, but to line the pockets of bureaucrats who get paid a whole lot more than folks in the private sector. You can't expect one gang of scam artists to protect you against another gang of scam artists.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS hit the button to talk to a real person. Keep them on the line as long as you can. Hand the pnone to a todler. Play music. Say you are really interested but then say something like "Oh my god! Can you hang on for a moment?" then put the phone down and walk away.
