Rid yourself of annoying telemarketers..
..by asking them if they sell anything BUT what they're trying to sell you.

i.e; Mobile phone company won't stop trying to sell you a phone. Ask them if they sell holidays, double glazing, anything you can think of. Keep going until they get annoyed and hang up.

For really persistent ones, ask them if they'd be interested in a career as a phone-sex operator. Tell them how nice their voice sounds. Wait for them to hang up. Alternatively, tell them you're in the middle of HAVING sex, and that they'll have to call back in three or four hours.
