I agree, but I am also tired of stopping what I am doing to answer the phone and it's a telemarketer.
In line with your signature, when a telemarketer calls, quickly cut in and yell "I thought you were the doctor calling back!!!" and slam the phone down. Don't break the phone, but with the appropriate enphasis.
Then there was the time that someone called wanting to sell me something. I mentioned that my kids were selling raffle tickets for school. Could we work out a deal? Unfortunately, that did not work out. Neither of us made a sale. Darn the luck.
That Do Not Call list really helps, but I wish it worked on political calls too.
