Confession
Lately, I've developed the habit of assuming that any male with a foreign accent who calls for me is a telemarketer. The conversation goes like this:
(Phone Rings)
Me: Hello?
(Long pause while the calling machine connects me with the presumed telemarketer)
Foreign Man: Hello. Yes. May I speak with Jenny-fer?
Me: (Adopting a very sorrowful tone) I'm so sorry, she died a couple of months ago.
Foreign Man: (Sounding very non-sorrowful) So Sorry. Click.

I'm already on the stinking no-call list.
We get that too, over here in Blighty. I just like to mimic their accent in an ever slightly offensive way.
It confuses the hell out of them.
