I used to inform them I charged $100 per hour to listend to their pitch with a minimum 2 hour charge.  If they agreed, I'd sit down and listen.  At the end of the call, I'd ask them if they needed my address to send my payment.  When they acted surprised, I asked to speak to their supervisor.  I wonder how many of them got fired.  I even put a similar message on my answering machine.  Hardly got any messages and the ones from my friends were too buxy laughing to leave a message.

I own a pest control com[any and I get them all the time , robocalls .
I  threaten  to beat their face in with a base ball  bat  if they call me again , it's cathartic and fun.
They threaten to call police and I tell them  to tell police  why I threaten them  and so on ...................

They don't care what I am doing  , how busy I am  .
They make me very upset .

I've tried the govt call blocker and it helps some.  Still, it has gotten so bad I never answer my home phone.

You and me both. I will sit there and listen to the ENTIRE pitch 3 or 4 times, giving them just enough to think they can sell me something. My wife gets pretty frustrated about it , but I figure the more time they spend on the phone with me, the more money they lose.
