Just get on DO NOT CALL list.
Which does NOTHING to stop telemarketers. I'm on the DNC List, get robocalls DAILY from telemarketers. I've also had my number sold locally (I can't narrow down what business sold my number), so I'm getting LOCAL "live person" spam calls... I have FUN with those! I act as if they're someone else, someone I know and just keep at it till they hang up! I once had a telemarketer so flustered they made a loud "raspberry" noise, cursed at me, and slammed their phone down! I nearly died laughing!

I hate those calls too, I get several per day. What's annoying is if you actually do pick up, it's just silent, not even a robot.

What annoys me more though is people being rude or messing with real live telemarketers. Yeah your phone ringing all day is annoying but they aren't crank calling you for fun. I can only assume someone is working a job that tedious because they have to survive, they are probably very tired and underpaid or even make their income per sale, so wasting their time makes YOU the jerk.
