Not being kuripot :NoNo: ... but sometimes these organisations need reminding that "Charity begins at home"!

Keeps me in dustbin bags. :)

I love unsolicited phone calls.

They give me the opportunity to exercise my acting skills.

I can put on all sorts of accents now, imitate the symptoms of most types of mental illness, and also do a pretty good rendition of someone having a heart attack. :D

Best things when filling in these sort of forms on the internet (ie to get a free sample or suchlike) is to give a false name and phone number.

If you are getting hassle with unsolicited calls tell them either

You've gone bankrupt
or
That person has moved away
or
That person died last week
