Yesterday's call was two words long.
Was either of them printable?
I used to just hang up on them but recall one instance when a telemarketer said he was “returning” my husband’s call regarding in home gym equipment.
Now first of all, my husband was an invalid with hardly enough breath to walk, let alone exercise. Also, he did not believe in buying anything from door-to-door salespeople or over the phone or even on the internet.
So I told the caller to hang on while I got my husband to the phone. Then I sat and waited a few minutes until I picked the phone up and said, “hold on, he is on the way”. And I sat some more.
Finally, I announced that he would be there in a minute but was slow because he had to use a walker.
At that, the caller hung up.
