Thought I would start this post that is sure to get some of us flared up.<br /><br />What do you do when that phone sales solicitor calls when your sitting down and eating chow with the family?<br /><br />I typically cannot think very quick when I get mad, so I go from zero to ***hole when these vermin are on the phone invading my private life and time.<br />Lately I just say, "Hold on a sec, I gotta get the door" (or whatever)...And lay the phone down.<br />This ties their time up. Most of them hang up.<br /><br />I also recently found a web site that you can download the 3 little tones (Do-Da-De) that you can put in front of your outgoing message on your answering machine.<br />This tells their computers that your phone is disconnected and they remove your name of their list. <br /><br />Let's hear your ways of getting rid of these people!<br /><br />H.
