Same here. I try to treat them with dignity and respect. I figure they probably hate calling people more than people hate getting calls from them. After all, nobody says they're gonna be a telemarketer when they grow up. It's only after they try to run roughshod over my polite "no thanks, I'm not interested" that I turn into my grumpy self.
