My dad used to collect phone numbers of double glazing companies....

When he got an irritating call from one of them he would say...

..."call me back on my other line"....and give them another company phone number.

You know those calls from “Rachel” at Cardmember service or the rug cleaners that say “all our operators are busy, please leave name/number”?

I give them the name/phone number of the local FBI office and special agent.

Never thought of that, brilliant. Robo calls I just yell at so I don’t hear what they are saying, but recently my daughter was showing me how to set up something on the computer and I got a call from a real person wanted to know if I have considered life insurance....I told him I was just sitting by my computer holding a gun to my head and wanted him to know if I should pull the trigger or not....line went dead, not me....LOL
