To be fair, I've had situations where their colleague's put in the contact's info, knowing sales people would call them.

Mine was when someone asked how I got their office number and I told them it’s listed on their website. Then they said it’s not the right time and to call back in two weeks. Two weeks?? 🤣

No dumb responses, only poorly trained sales people...

Hard disagree. Prospects frequently say egregious things the second they realize that it is a cold call, even though it is business related, and not an extended car warranty scam.
