Back when our only phones were landlines, and before those had any way of screening a call before you picked it up, I would still just hang up on telemarketers without getting into a conversation with them. No abuse, no messing with their heads, just “click”.
Later, when we got answering machines, there was the option of listening them start to leave a message, and then picking up and taking the call if it turned out to be a legitimate caller. That’s an option that would be good to have with mobile phones.

Great handling of a telemarketer.

Well played. I have succeeded when they start cursing me and hang up.

I hope I can remember those answers until the next call comes in.
