My telemarketer calls had all but stopped recently after I joined the FTC's "Do Not Call" Registry.

Not "surveryers" keep calling me, "wanting my opinion". Now they are calling me really late at night!

If I remember FTC's rules, surveys aren't covered under the Do Not Call List. Bastards!

Actually the words I used were.

"It's 9:30pm here asshole, put me on your Do Not Call List. Don't call me again. Go survey someone who cares." Then I hung up the phone.

When I get telemarketing calls from Indians I start talking to them in Urdu, my parents are from Pakistan and I know a little of the language. So, I start talking to them in their native language and they get all confused. Because they think that I think they are regular Americans since they changed their name to Ed or Al or whatever.

Isn't it illegal to call after 9pm?

Oh well, ask them what they're wearing, then no matter the answer ask them to wait a sec and act like you're pulling it out. Then ask hot questions when they pause to hear an answer to one of their questions. Adlib from there until they hang up. Works pretty good at times.
