LOL, me too. I like back many many years ago when you could just set your phone down and then they couldn't call anyone else till you hung yours up. Now I talk to them and say how interested I am. Then I tell them I need to get my wife to finish the transaction with them. Then just set my phone down and see how long they will stay on the line.

This will make people look at you really weird.

The car insurance scammers call my area all the time. I was at a one of my financial advisors waiting room and the guy behind the counter had his personal cell phone ring. He answered it and hung up.

Guy: It was one of those car insurance scammers. Last time they called I waited all the way through their message and opted out of future calls. That lasted a week before they just started calling back. What a bunch of idiots.

Me: I know, some of them are really stupid. The last time one called me I had to give him my CC number 3 times before they got it correct.

The look that guy gave me was priceless.
