This is what i do: when the caller ID gives a different area code than my area code, I answer the phone. When they ask for Boo, I say, "I'm sorry, you got the wrong number." They usually ask 'is this (insert your phone number here)'. Then I say simply, 'yes.' Then they ask, 'but Boo Radley doesn't live there?' And I say, 'no.' And they say, 'sorry.' And hang up.
Sometimes though, when it is not my area code, I just answer, and when they ask for Boo Radley, I say, 'sorry, you have the wrong number', and then I hang up the phone without waiting for any further questions/comments.
No way am I going to get my blood pressure up over their calls. They can' t talk crap to you if you hang up the phone. Yay!
