I got called from a cold caller related to a Costco compo I entered, fair enough, I've set myself up this.

But they call me on a Friday an hour before lunch (AKA everyone offloading responsibility before the weekend mode a bank holiday one at that :/ ) and when I explained this and suggested sending an email they just carried on as if it didn't matter.

I don't do well with cold callers. You're already getting my manager tone, but to further disrespect my time rather than asking when would be a good time to call back or using something less invasive seems baffling to me if you want a sale.

Canadian response, "I'm not interested." Hangs up.

The vindictive American in me always feigns interest to try and waste as much of their time as possible. When they inevitably hang up, I call them back and ask to be connected to Fatima (there is always a Fatima).
