Telemarketer encounters of the first kind: person. Feel sorta guilty. Pretend to listen. Tell 'em you don't need blinds, or satellite TV. Hang up. Telemarketer encounters of the second kind: person from, and in, another hemisphere. Feel almost guilty. Say no a couple of times hang up. Telemarketer encounters of the third kind: computer trying to sound human. No guilt. Hang up. Telemarketer encounters of the fourth kind: a beep, pause, and a recording made by, I funno... A chimp? Underwater? Angrily question who would pay anything to have this done to you. Hang up. Smash phone.

Use Nomorobo. Phone rings once than it hangs up on numbers that have not called you before. I still don’t answer if I don’t recognize the number. Figure someone else in the house has picked up the phone on that number before. Callsare NEVER for me anyway, and I like it that way.
