one time i was actually nice and offered to do the survey (taking marketing research, i was a bit intruiged to see what they would say).
i got about 6 questions in until the person goes "oh wait... no i'm sorry... i'm supposed to be talking to the mom in the house".  yah try to be helpfull...
other times i'll criticize the question "just an fyi but that last question you asked me isn't going to give you any decent information at all. it's not structured properly" as the telemarketer goes "uhhh.... .... i'll write that down".
