You know the kind.... that come at 10am, after you've just woken up. Some happy go lucky super bouncy cheery lady on the phone that sounds like she has had way too much coffee. And she's trying to pitch you to get a newspaper of all things. Try honesty, they'll leave you alone real fast!! Here's what worked for me...
Lady: Hi, did you get your copy of the **** **** *** yesterday?
me: huh? No, we don't get that paper...
lady: Oh well, right now we're offering 5 weeks free, for purchasing an additional 8 weeks.. blah blah... savings of 60%.. blah blah.. good deal.
me: No thanks, not interested.
lady: How do you keep up with the news? *in a joking bubly voice*
me: i dont watch tv. i dont read any paper, and I find the world is a big shithole.
lady: Okay, bubye!
Honesty really IS the best policy!
