I don't take kind to telemarketers, but at the same time I have a sutble respect for what they do, seeing as how a job is a job. Rather than just telling them off and hanging up, I tend to see what I can do. I've done the seinfeld, put the guy on hold for a really long time, thing.

I've also had conversations akin to this:

"Hello this is so-and-so, we are interested in selling you this, are your parents around?"

"No, I'm sorry. They're hanging around in my meat fridgerator. I'll have to tell them to get back to you in a few days."


And, if all else fails, you can always try to have phone sex. I've done it before, sometimes they won't hang up right away. A little roleplaying for the customer.
