I just don't answer those calls. I let my machine get it every time, and if it's someone legit they usually leave a message. Once they start talking, if I want to talk to them I pick up.
If a certain telemarketer gets out of hand with the calls though, I've been known to "Andy Rooney" them and answer, then say "just a second, I have something on the stove, hang on please".... then put the reciever down and go back to whatever it was I was doing and leave them hanging there in limbo.
I've had to do that only once, was with Capital One. They were insideous, but after I did that they got the hint and stopped calling completely. And yes, I did ask them to take me off their list prior to that. They didn't.
