I actually know a lady like this. I accidently came upon her a few months back at the grocery store. I thought I'd never get away. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and wish you luck with the contest.

Thank you. Yeah, I have met people like that too. Maybe that's where the idea for this story came from.

Comment from LJbutterfly
This is really humorous. I need to try this. I've actually gotten calls for medical equipment and pretended to be outraged because I didn't have the condition that required the equipment. Telemarketers hang up, but I like your idea of out-talking them and giving the phone to the cat. Haha! Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you. I don't answer calls unless I recognize the caller. I must get twenty calls every day.

Comment from irishauthorme
Neat! That's really funny! We used to get those calls daily on our house phone. We would answer, of course, because we couldn't tell who was calling. Now, with cell phones, we still get those calls, but we can tell who it is before we answer, and we can block that number.
Good work,
irish

Thank you. I still have a land line but it has caller Id so I know who is calling. If it isn't someone I know, I don't answer.

This is fun and humorous to boot! I laughed out loud when I read this dialogue-only story!
Fun and a wonderful way to get rid of the telemarketers who call incessantly from dawn to dusk. I want to thank you for brightening up my morning with this great offering for the contest. Good luck with the contest!

Thank you. I got the idea beacause of all the calls I get every day. I have caller ID so I just don't answer unless I know who it is.

I have called ID as well but sometimes it says Robo when it is someone I want to talk to! It is a great saving grace when the same telemarketers keep calling!

Thank you. Just an idea that popped into my mind. That no-call thing is just a joke. It doesn't even slow them down. Thanks for the six stars, I appreciate them.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Nicely written. Good work.
This is a story that we can all relate to. Anyone who has a phone, that is.
And insurance, of any sort, is the most prevalent. Auto warranty, ugh.
I like how you got the cat into a dialogue only piece. Nice touch.
Good luck in the contest.

Fantastic way of getting rid of the idiots! Well written. Loved the way the dominant speaker shifted as the dialogue progressed. You certainly got the upper hand. Kate xx

Thank you. Sounds like a good Idea, right? I just don't answer the phone unless I know the caller.

Comment from Wendy G
Lol! I needed to read that yesterday - and do likewise! A very humorous write and I bet that Mrs Jones never gets another call from Live Forever Life Insurance. Well done, a clever piece.

Thank you. All those calls I get every day was the inspiration for my story. It seems like there should be some way to put a damper on those people.

I would love to be able to torment telemarketers in the clever way that you did. However, I am not that skilled. I probably would not be able to keep from laughing out loud at the confusion and discomfort it would no doubt cause.
