I just came up with a fun way of dealing with telemarketers.
Now, unless the Big Beautiful Bill finally gets declared unconstitutional, I might regret this, but I just practiced my new technique on a telemarketer trying to get me interested in medical insurance. It went a little something like this.
Riiiiiing!
Me: Yes? (Never answer with hello, by the way. Bots are programmed to start talking when you say hello.)
Her: Hi, my name is [redacted], I'm calling from [redacted] Medical to see if you're interested in a new health plan. Do you have insurance?
Me: Yes, I do, thanks for asking. [Hangs up.]
