If you get called by telemarketers, political people, charities, etc. just hang up on them. Almost all of them require a minimum of 3 "nos" before they can end the call and some of the shittier ones aren't even allowed to end the call. Being polite and listening to them wastes both your time and ruins their metrics
Good to know. Think I will just say "Sorry, no" and immediately hang up. Most are computers now anyway so they just get a hangup.
Only time I didn't do this was when I got tried of them constantpy calling and tried to prank them over text. It actually went really well.
