Poll: What is the most effective way to politely end one of those annoying...

[Minnie Mouse]

...calls from a call centre? and why do they ring just as you are about to eat your dinner

[quester :-)]

I just hang up on them...after politely saying I am not interested... :-)

[Doll face]

Say you have a chip pan on.

[Cymraes.]

Don't end it, just ask them to hold as you have to put something down, then put the phone on the table while you eat you dinner.
They'll soon hang up.

[Dougal]

Start telling them all about the time you got your finger stuck in a milk bottle.
Then start crying and ask if they have any advice for a guy who once got his finger stuck in a milk bottle and can't get a job because of it.

i say i dont participate in any unsolicet phone calls

[Scary Skies]

I agree with the first answer. I know I couldn't trust myself to say anything nice

[Mickey Mouse]

I get my missus to answer the phone...

[minnie]

I always say my boyfriend has his own company doing whatever they are advertising so I don't need their services

[cubalishus]

Simple, put the phone down.
