And get a lot of calls too. However, the combination of working on a computer all day and a ringtone on a smartphone that I really like, allows me some passive-aggressive joy. Phone rings (starts playing the Futurama theme) "Do-do-do-dododooo (humming while typing in the number in Google) Do-do-do-dodododoooo (clicking a link to a website dedicated to tracking telemarketer calls) Do-do-do-dodododooo (reading who it is) Do-do-do-d... Oh, they hung up. Aw."
