The only exception I've ever personally seen to the DNC request is where politics are involved.
Yes, political calls are excluded. I volunteered on a political campaign in FL a few years ago and my cell # is in robocall databases. I may have to change it for this election cycle. Now that I'm in MA, my FL area code confuses people.

Who May or May Not Call?
Who is covered by the National Do Not Call Registry?
The National Do Not Call Registry applies to any plan, program, or campaign to sell goods or services through interstate phone calls. This includes telemarketers who solicit consumers, often on behalf of third party sellers. It also includes sellers who provide, offer to provide, or arrange to provide goods or services to consumers in exchange for payment.
The National Do Not Call Registry does not limit calls by political organizations, charities, or telephone surveyors.
For more information, please see FTC INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS below.
What about an established business relationship?
A telemarketer or seller may call a consumer with whom it has an established business relationship for up to 18 months after the consumer's last purchase, delivery, or payment - even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry. In addition, a company may call a consumer for up to three months after the consumer makes an inquiry or submits an application to the company. And if a consumer has given a company written permission, the company may call even if the consumer's number is on the National Do Not Call Registry.
One caveat: if a consumer asks a company not to call, the company may not call, even if there is an established business relationship. Indeed, a company may not call a consumer - regardless of whether the consumer's number is on the registry - if the consumer has asked to be put on the company's own do not call list.

Fucking with telemarketers. -

The only exception I've ever personally seen to the DNC request is where politics are involved. If you get called with a survey it's because you're a registered voter, and those records are public. No one is going to call you back if you turn down a survey, though; it's not worth it. 
I've been the caller and the supervisor, and while I didn't exactly set the bar I am generally very polite. I let people vent, and I respond nicely - it works better for everyone involved.
