Sometimes I get creative. Someone selling siding, I live in a brick home. Someone peddling phone plans, I do not have a phone (this one is really fun!)

I usually tell the caller I do not buy anything over the phone. One time I got a smart @ss who responded, "Yeah right how about pizza? You order pizza from a phone."

His answer might have worked expect I live in the boonies. The nearest pizza place is 45 miles away.

I would think a simple response to the pizza question, comment, if you do call to order pizzas from time to time, would be "Yes, but only to order it and only when I originate the call, dumb@$$! I do not BUY pizza over the phone! Who called you?"

I had a guy call me selling siding. I listened to the spiel, getting more and more excited as we went on. It will lower my heating bills?! It will never need painting!!

I kept him on the line 5 minutes. I told him this sounded wonderful.

"How large is your house, Mr. XXX?"

"I don't know. It's a 2 bedroom apartment on the 7th floor of the Borton building."

Sometimes I get creative. Someone selling siding, I live in a brick home. Someone peddling phone plans, I do not have a phone (this one is really fun!)

Sometimes I use a variation of this one, too:

Dip: Hello, I'm selling long-distance services.

Me: I don't have a phone.

Dip: You're talking on the phone right now.

Me: This isn't my house; I don't even know these people. I'm just here taking stuff, and I'm kinda busy and in a hurry so I don't have time to talk right now.

Dip: < gurgle >. Eventual < click >

A good response to the pizza defense: Are you selling pizza?
