Then we put it on speaker and wait to see how long they stay on. I seriously had a guy wait for an hour once. It's a great time, cause you can practically hear them drooling and they will wait forever.... I have never had anyone wait less than 10 minutes.

CC Love this one! There is an "epidemic" of telemarketers in OZ at the moment. Mainly indian people selling phone contracts or energy companies or something like that... Hopefully they ask me for some details and I can take an hour or 2 looking for it....
Man they drive me nuts otherwise! Sometimes I have fun with them. Like when they say "our company has selected you for a free holiday with no obligations". Yesterday I had one say almost straight away, "is this mr blah blah" so I go, yeah, and he's like "because you're such a loyal customer of us we are sending you a free phone so it'll arrive in a a few days, make sure you don't pay the delivery guy for it".. yeah like companies just suddenly decide to send random people free phones... Plus i'd never even heard of the company, let alone been a loyal customer... The stupid part is when you say "i'm not intersted" and they're like "you don't want a free phone?" of course I want a f'n free phone you f'n moron but the one you're offering me certainly aint free!

But i'm with some of you guys now, it might make me less mad at getting these stupid calls if I have fun with them...
Also asking for there cousin Rajeev or whatever is a great one too..
