"Who's Calling?" 08/12/2009
 
I am one of those people that only answer the phone if I know who it is calling. I know my bills are paid, so If a "1-866" or something similar is calling it's god damn soliciters. A few times I have actually answered and was verbally assaulted with a 10 minute stream of why I should donate money to send some unfortuante kids to something I can't afford to send my own to. They don't let you get a word in edgewise, until the end, when I ask how I get to be one of those people that gets their admission paid into all that fun stuff, because I can't afford to go either. This always stumps them, they don't know. "You don't know?!  Well how can you ask for money for something that you know nothing about, maybe it's a scam" and I continute to ask them questions and talk non-stop till either I run out of things to say and hang up on them or they get sick of listening to me and hang up. 
Another quick solve way to get rid of them is to just pick up the phone and slam it right back down. Sometimes this makes them mad so they phone back reapeatedly letting it ring all 50 times before hanging up and waiting 30 seconds and phoning right back. We laugh when this happens.
