    When they inevitably say 'What?!', reply with 'Nothing'. Then whisper more things like 'I think I can see you'.

    If they get really stroppy then just ask them why they phoned you in the first place because all you're trying to do is be nice to them.

    Technically you're not doing anything wrong, just don't go over the line and say something stupid.

    last time some overseas tele-scammer called my house i kept him one the phone for a good 30 minutes speaking gibberish to him and generally wasting his time with nonsensical tomfoolery until he had no choice but to hang up on me.

    i figure if some asshole wants to bother me at home with a phone call, they better be ready to talk.
