No need to be a smartass when someone's actually trying to help you out.

It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it become rigid and stale. ~Iroh
You can't make an omelette without ruthlessly crushing dozens of eggs beneath your steel boot and then publicly disemboweling the chickens that laid them as a warning to others. ~Tarquin

But seriously, your phone company might have regulations about that sort of thing.

Re: mis-dial fun
I Google it if I can. Sometimes it helps and it becomes clear that it's obviously a sales call, sometimes it doesn't. I've been getting some calls lately from very random area codes 
If not, I do what my husband has started doing.....label the number if it's the same so you know when they call. He has some girl who calls him repeatedly from his hometown--no idea who she is, but she seems to think his number belongs to someone else and can't take a hint when he tells her "so and so isn't here". So he labeled it "Wrong Number" and just ignores it

My parents get that a lot on their home phone. It'll look like "GALVESTONTX" or something
