in Phones & TV
I've just thought of a new game.
When I get an unsolicited call from a call centre, instead of telling them where to go and putting the phone down I now say "Ooh lovely, hang on a minute while I put the dinner on a low heat". I then put the phone on the coffee table and leave it to them to decide for themselves how long it takes to get fed up of waiting.
:D
It took the marketing man who called last night about 5 minutes. Anybody beat that?

A few years ago I had a knock from someone wanting to quote for cavity wall insulation. I was eating dinner so after half a dozen polite no thankyou's fell on deaf ears I said yes and he went away happy.
The following evening there was a tap on the door while I was getting the dinner:
"come to do the quote"
"OK" I said and shut the door.
15 mins later there's another tap:
"can I come in..."
"no, I'm eating dinner"
"well we don't do business on the doorstep"
"if you want to give me a quote then do so, but you're not coming in, I told your mate I wasn't interested yesterday"
"he's not my mate"
"I can't help that"
Eventually he stormed off beetroot faced and drove down the road with his tyres squealing. :rotfl:0
