How to deal with annoying cold callers, accidental discovery
If you get a cold caller, push a button at random on your phone so they get a beep and say " I`m awfully sorry, wrong number" this will give some surcease till the penny drops. I had just come off a night shift, had rung a firm with an enquiry and was waiting a call back as my head turned to sleepy mush. Some unwelcome at random tried to sell me a phone contract just as I hung up, crunched a few gears in my head as it wasn`t the firm I was expecting and apologised for dialing the wrong `un.

Give it a go.

can you re-read that
then edit it so that it makes at least some sense?

I just say "no, thank you," and hang up.
This is much easier, as it cuts out the part where you get drunk and hammer out random words on Top Tips.

I tend to just hang up.
Or if I'm feeling really polite, ask them to go away and stop ringing me. Then hang up.
