I get them at my Depot a few times a day the main one is trying to sell me toner for my printers and what a great deal we get at $350 apiece I inform them we don't order the toner the machine does it on it's own once it reaches a certain point we were told of this scam a few years ago they get you to order it then try to bill you for 3 at $500 a pop and nothing ever shows up! A total scam.
Also get the "you factory warranty is about to expire" call a couple of times a day I hate those calls and the time we waste on them but some are fun to mess with I sometimes like to see how far I can push them before they hang up...

Some get real Flustered when you interrupt their spill right in the middle & they forget where they were.
I like when they say it's a survey. I ask if they are getting paid & how much they are sending me for my opinion! [some here think my opinion sucks, wonder what they think? NO I Don't].

the best one I had is when I blew a whistle as loud as I could in the phone. he eventually called back and said that was the rudest thing anybody ever did to him. I was honored.

Do you think he still wears an Ear Bud? LOL

I blow a boat air horn into the phone. After about a dozen different times, they must have put me on their "do not call list"
