You can't get rid of them. They won't stop calling you. They will not take you off there list. So because of this, just for fun, I go the Jerry Sienfeld route.As example, When they start pitching me I cut in and say "Oh, I'm sorry (Bob, Jane, ****, whoever...) but I'm really busy right now, can I get your home phone # and call you back later when I have some free time?" Usually they'll respond by telling you they can't give you there home phone. Response"oh, that must mean you don't like being bugged on your time either?" It wont really stop them from calling you, but it certainly stumps them temporarily. Actually this works best at home with like long distance telephone people. You can say "oh so you don't like being bugged at either."I saw this on Jerry Sienfeld" once. Just thought it was SOOOO funny.
