The thing about them is, there are so many of them, they all work from lists, and the most important thing is that they value their time.
Knowing all that, people have found some pretty clever ways of sticking it to them. :D
I still love the Seinfeld method....
"Hello"
"Hello Mr Seinfeld, we're conducting research into the bla blah blahh.."
"Excuse me, now's not a good time, can I get your name and home number so I can call you back later when it's more convenient?"
"uhh, that's not something we generally do sir"
"Hmm, yes, you probably don't want people calling you at home and bothering you during dinner etc"
"Yes sir, that's correct"
"Well now you know how I feel"
