How to get rid of telephone solicitors

[valis2]

Earlier this evening my phone rang. My caller ID usually displays two lines of text, and is situated in a small nook that is a bit dark, so I can't always read what it says. When I looked, I could see only one line of text, which usually means that it's subrosax calling (it always displays "PRIVATE" when she calls).

So I answered in my usual manner, thinking it was her. "YO YO, IS THIS THE SAMSQUAMTCH? WHASSUP!" I shouted into the phone.

There was a hasty click.

Turns out it was displaying "UNAVAILABLE," not "PRIVATE," and it was most likely a sales call of some sort.

lol.

This reminds me of the time I got a sales call from a local photograph studio. This particular studio had been calling us for *months* trying to get us to buy portraits of our non-existent children, despite us telling them several times that we were childless.

It was a cold April night and I had had a truly horrid day at work. I was in the bathtub trying to warm up and calm down when the telephone rang. Idiot Ex wasn't home, so I hauled my dripping carcass out of the bath, padded into the study, and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello! This is the Silver Light Studio of Photography, and we're having a sale on children's portraits. Is this the lady of the house?"

"No." I think I bared my teeth. "This is the bitch. Can I help you?"

*click*

They never called back. I wonder why?
