It's even better if you tell them you don't have an internet, because
you don't have a phone. Then see how long you can go before they
realise you've been taking the ****. Getting them to cut the call
immediately is no fun - you have to make them only realise _later_
that you took the **** some time ago, they have wasted their own time
since.

A friend claims 37 minutes for one of these calls. Now that's art.


I plan to start using this:

It would be worth setting up an Asterix machine solely to do this.


I have it anyway. Telemarketers already get a hard time, but I plan to
add this as an extension to which I can transfer someone who annoys me
and manages to get through.
