"Hello, I am calling you from Windows Headquaters..."

[JoeM]

I have a few techniques I use depending on how cranky I am at the time of the calls:

1 - Caller ID and answering machine - I don't pick up
2 - Caller ID and answering machine - I wait for them to start talking, quickly pick up the phone a smidge and immdeiately hang up.
3 - Caller ID and answering machine - I wait for them to start talking, quickly pick up the phone and scream into it continuously and as loud as possible for several seconds and immdeiately hang up.

They don't ever seem to call back after #3. -D
