I don't answer the phone to 800-888-877 - really any number that starts with an 8. If they are a legitimate business with a legitimate concern then they will leave a message and we either pick up or get back with them. If I end up on the phone with a telemarketer I try very much to be polite and usually hang up after at least one NO THANK YOU. When the person yells at me that obviously I am too stupid to understand what a good deal I am missing - the gloves are off (for the fun of it).
