I need a better script for those "energy advisers' that keep calling the landline.

Fuck off! Fuck off! Fuck off! isn't how I want to interact - I'd far sooner have some kind of "it's not convenient right now, can you call back in a couple of days" and by then have worked out some series of questions that will get them really involved.
I'd aim to waste at least 30 minutes of their time...

@OneInterestingFact @tully What’s stopping you from saying exactly that? Make a callback appointment even, their victim botherance system should have that option. Then spend the first fifteen minutes playing how you forgot what the call is about and that you asked to be called back.
