Another way of dealing with evil phone-dialers-

My husband and I have different last names, and the phone is listed under
his name. If I pick up the phone and hear "Mrs. Marick?" my immediate
response is to ask them who they are. It tends to throw the caller off
guard, and they don't jump into their spiel. This gives you time to decide
which of the many other dirty tricks you wish to play on them.
