I usually repeat everything they say to annoy them lol.
Them: Hello
Me: Hello
Them: Hi we're calling from- (I cut them)
Me: Hi, we're calling from
And so on..
Quite fun tbh lol, they get wound up. -

I just tell them I'm a student and living under my mum's basement so they can **** themselves with any PPI claims

I have success getting them to hang up by saying "have you any idea how hard it is for some people to get to the phone?!" ..... works every time.

I don't have a landline currently (student halls) but I used to just start going on at them in some random language......telling them I am german or french etc. Once though they were like "hold on we have a german speaker here let me put him on" I was like.....er.......wie gehts?

I literally put the phone down and wait for them to end the call. It usually takes a while cause they take forever to explain what they're calling for and then they repeat themselves thinking i missed out on it lol.
Or sometimes I use the old fashioned "I can't hear you properly the line is not clear". Works all the time lol -

They blacklisted me after calling me several times and all I said was "yes".

Russell Howard phoned them up and said:
'Hello, have you got the time, please'
They said 'yes, the time is...'
He said 'Thanks', then hung up.

I usually just play along until they realise I'm taking the piss and hang up on me. I also used an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard once
