It's a shame you do that. Most people do, which is how these people find who
is apparently a mark and who is not.
If you were to stay on the line, tedious though it is, follow their
procedures and talk effusively with their operator when you get through,
keep her on line for a while before ultimately telling her in a very, very
loud voice to sod off, they will resent your wasting their time far more
than you will resent their wasting yours. And they are paying.
A Little ... naughty.
