Since they uslually call me when I'm eating I just say "what time do you eat?" and they say "when I get out of work or whenever" and I say "Well give me your home phone number and I'll call you there at that time."

Oh, geez, tell them that you're not the man or woman of the house. If they ask if they may speak to the man or woman of the house, say "Uh, they're taking a massive [poop] right now." Most of the time the person will burst into laughter and say "okay, bye". However, if they say "Do you know when they will be available" say "Oh, I dunno, he's been in there awhile, no telling when his diarrhea medicine will finally kick in."
Ask them out on a date. Even if they are the same gender. And then call them while they are eating dinner, if you get that far, player.
God, ****ing HATE TELMARKETERS. I swear next telemarketer thatcalls I <i>will</i> cuss up a storm at them.
I tell them I'm not interested and then hang up. It's cruel, I know.

Why not make pleasant conversation with them? I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

I was a telemarketer for about a month back in high school. From personal experience, it didn't hurt our feelings to get hung up on. That's was preferable to getting told that the person you are asking to talk to just died that day. The first time you hear that you feel bad. After the tenth or so time you just say sorry and go onto the next call.
Anyway, now that I'm not a telemarketer, I hang up on them the minute I figure out that they are a telemarketer. It's best for me, it's best for them.

Thanks.
