Cold calls

When I returned to mine humble abode today after wrking like a dog the house phone was going mad with its "Ringetty, ringetty, ring, ring ring".
Now, normally I just yell at it and it shuts up, but tonight I picked up the handset and had listened.
The voice on the other then revealed to me a revelation in the following words - or an approximation thereof - "Your telephone number has been selected to have a 14-day vacation at any 5-star hotel anywhere in the world."
I informed the voice that my phone number wasn't getting to go away on jollies when myself was being a wage slave.
Then I hung up the phone.
Have I caused the voice mental pain?
Have I caused a crisis of faith?
Did I enjoy it?
