Does anyone else get annoyed by salesmen/women phoning ( usually at mealtimes ) and trying to sell double glazing/ book clubs/timeshare/loans.

So how do you deal with these calls in an original manner when you have politely said "No" twice this week already!
I heard some good ideas,

1. Tell the salespereson that you need to get a pen, and forget to come back to the phone, leaving the line tied up.

2. Ask the person for their home phone number, when they refuse you respond "of course I understand, you don't want to be bothered at mealtimes by calls from complete strangers trying to sell you something you don't need"

3. When they ask how are you? Launch into a full account of your ongoing back trouble,athletes foot,ongoing tests for every condition you can think of, and don't spare any detail!

Anyone got any more ideas?:idea:
