"Press 1 if you wish to hear a speech about capitalism"
M: "Yeah, right" -click
So, I usually stay exactly quiet when I answer the phone, and wait for the other person to talk first. Why? It picks out marketers. Animated messages will only relay themselves if you answer "Hello"
....
The other week, they called me at 3 in the morning on my cellphone. Brand new. How the heck did they get that number?
Anyway; I have a friend who picks up the phone and if there's a marketer on the line she says "Well darn you!" and hangs up... those words censored of course, despite the fact that she's younger than me. -_-'
So, my question, what do you guys do when telemarketers call you?

I say hello, and if I hear no response right away, I hang up. -My dad's idea :3

I have a caller ID on my phone, so if it's a telemarketer, or a number I don't know or something then I don't answer.

We have caller ID like Swimmy. But, lately they've been pretty tricky. We don't answer, but if we do, we hang up on them while they are talking about whatever. My family is so polite, don't you think?
