It’s difficult to learn to NOT answer the phone. But, it can be done and furthermore you can learn to hang-up when it’s a sales call. Don’t talk with the caller – just hang up.
I use a similar line… “My doctor said that me low-salt diet combined with exercise would help me live longer. I wonder if it is just going to seem longer.”
Very insightful. I have gotten to the age that I could buy a third one and forget about it…and probably have.
