How to annoy those annoying telemarketers
For one always have the upper hand. Put them on speaker phone so that you don't have to cramp your ear. While they talk walk into the kitchen and make yourself a milkshake, then go back and if they are still there talking then try to ask them what you missed and such. Finally after showing lots of interested and no attention say you weren't really interested.
