I've found that one simple number gets rid of most mortgage-refinance telemarketers

Telemarketer: blah blah blah refinance blah blah low rates blah

Me, interrupting: Can you beat 4.75%

Them: Uhh, no sir, thank you for your time.

Or, in one case

Them: Fixed?

Me: Fixed.

Them: Uhh, no sir, thank you for your time.

Window and siding guys are more fun. My old way was

Them: Hi, this is Sears calling with blah blah blah windows, blah blah blah doors, blah blah blah siding...

Me: (puts phone down, waits a few minutes for noise to stop)

Me: (Picks up phone) "Sounds really great, but I rent" <click>

New way, same thing but "It's a condo".
