Barking dogs is all I ever hear when telemarketers call.
They LEGALLY invade our home privacy ten million times a day—and there’s no one strong enough to pull their energy-sucking plug. What a sad state of affairs ‘free enterprise’ has become.
There’s usually a delay because they are multi-dialing, or whatever it’s called. I just wait through the silence gap and when someone starts to speak, I hang up. However, the “do not call” listing seems to work.
Years ago a woman with an Irish accent called constantly asking for Mary (?). Finally I screamed into the receiver each time and the calls finally stopped. Am not proud but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I put a different short poem on the machine each month. Before we got on the Do Not Call list, you could hear the telemarketers snickering as they hung up.

They should get on the Do-Not-Bark-List.

If I answered the phone and heard barking at the other end I’d be far more apt to listen with interest…

I would love to be able to bark at the callers.
My mom makes a turkey-like gobble and that shuts the telemarketers up.
