    Trust me if they don't get the hint after the first no thank you then you shouldn't feel bad about hanging up on them. I never felt bad about it. xD

    Making up funny stories with them sounds like it would be fun. Probably more interesting for them too haha.
    Omg I feel the same! xD I hung up on one today (which prompted me to make the thread xD) and felt bad. She was like "Good evening, madam."

    One day, one of my friends was chatting to a telemarketer and he pretended that he lived nearby, so he organised a coffee date at "the cafe around the corner." XD He didn't go or anything, so that poor telemarketer would have gotten stood up. So funny.

    xD This makes sense! When they persist, it's SO annoying.

    Omg xD I kind of just want to start chatting to one of them about random stuff now. Or just randomly complimenting their voices like a creep. xD
