personally, i hate telemarketer calls. once, i was on the road on Saint Patrick's Day, and i gave my Grandmother a call to tell her that we were arriving at her house. at the time i had a cold so my voice was different and my Grandmother had the meat grinder running (Cornbeaf YA :buttrock: ). When i called her, she said to me "i am not interested" later on she apoligized and told us that she was getting telemarketer calls all morning nd that i had sounded like one. lol

no peace even on St. Patty's day...

I usally just say '''Im Not Interested, And don't call back'' and hang up

works for me

Hey! Telemarketers get paid, so we personally don't care if ppl hang up (I know I don't) :biggrin:
