Re: Telephone Solicitation

[Christine House <wexlr1@PANTHEON.YALE.EDU>]

I have developed a couple of standard responses when receiving these
annoying calls.  At home, I respond that I neither buy anything nor make
donations over the phone and then I ask the caller to please remove my
name from their phone list.  At school, I tell callers that I don't do
previews (after a couple of bad experiences) and that I buy nothing over
the phone.  In both instances, the phone calls end fairly quickly and I
am only moderately annoyed.
