Perhaps it’s no secret that nobody likes telemarketers. Within the last few years, it feels as though they’ve been practically impossible to avoid. Calls about our “extended auto-warranties” have grown so commonplace that many of us would rather avoid picking up the phone entirely than risk answering an unknown number. But thankfully, I’ve found a solution.

Many have simply tried rejecting the calls. Others have gone as far as blocking the numbers whenever they appear on their phone screen. Others still have gone through the painstaking process of actually communicating with their telemarketers for long enough to ask to be added to their do not call list.

Here’s all you have to do. Next time you get a call from a telemarketer, simply attempt to order a pizza. It’s that simple!

When they begin to explain that they do not sell pizza, you simply power through their objection by jovially insisting that they add pepperoni or sausage to the pizza. Any toppings should work. Do it with as friendly and neighborly a tone as you can muster to…
