I have one of those fecking consumer survey companies that keeps ringing me. I have tried to obtain the actual company name and asked them to take note that I do not wish them to call me... the reply being "we don't care, we'll call you again anyway"
So before I get the problem sorted, I intend to at least have a bit of a laugh.
I'm making up a list of names to use when they ask me to confirm my name.
I'm thinking along the lines of:
"No that's not my name I'm Miss Hunt... first name Mahairic."

I found that saying "do you mind if i just carry on with what i was doing when the phone rang?" in a pleasant voice really works.
They always say yes but then get discouraged when they can't hear over the vacuum cleaner (which i hold the phone very close to)  |

I find that telling them I'm part of the Anonymous hacking collective usually gets them hanging up rather sharpish, especially when I say, "Ah yes, there you are" after tapping my keyboard rather loudly. |

Lol, reminds me of when a company continually called our home phone.
They called when I was watching Emmerdale so ended up telling them my name was Charity Dingle. They asked dozens of questions resulting in answers such as I don't work, I've got 13 children, 7 cats, 11 dogs, no tv, no Internet as I couldn't afford it, no car, rented house, smoke and drink like a trooper, didn't pay my bills or rent....the call went on for about 20 minutes....but, I've not heard from them since
