I generally let the answering machine pick up the calls, since so many are sales/robo calls.
But, now that doctors and etc are in my life, I pick up.

So, few days post op for the breast surgery, I get a cold call from a real live person trying to sell me a funeral plan.
and I was in the mood to vent.

At the first mention of why she was calling, I went off on her.
" why are you calling me? who told you I had cancer???? Do they suspect I am going to die and they are not telling me? Who gave you my number?
I was just starting to feel good this morning about my chances and now YOU remind me all over again!!!

etc etc" in a very indignent old lady voice.

I hung up on what sounded like spluttered apologies.

they are correct...laughter IS good medicine.

2. I don't think they could ever pay me enough to make THAT kind of 'cold call'!

Jeez Louise! I think you having a sense of humor about this is wonderful.

And I can attest to the fact that you are absolutely correct about laughter. It has gotten me though some very, very rough times.

4. Love it!

Oh, you can really have some fun with sales calls, but DING! We have a winner here!

5. I take over the call, and talk about what I want to talk about. If they regain control, I wander off

Stopping to gargle works.

since diagnosed with cancer I'm from the UK I also get funeral planning cold call how do they find out. I've even had cold calling knocking on my door step asking for cancer relating donations. I think its disgusting when people are dying of cancer some people have no respect they are just like a pack of wolves moving in for the kill.
