oh yeah.. a few years ago our regional ph co was planning to sell our numbers. i called a business marketing division of the ph co over and over again. asking them if they wanted to by my shoes, or would they like to take a survey? i came out and told them my true purpose was to disrupt them and waste their time in response to the proposed phone number sale. they were so blown away at my audacity they stayed on the line for up to 15 minutes. i then reminded them that they were in sales and my wasting their time was wasting their paychecks. i kept it up for a week or so and the novelty definitely wore off for them. the ph co relented and scotched their plan to sell numbers.

I just politely ask them if they can hold on for just a minute and then I lay the phone down and bang pots and pans around in the kitchen. I would NOT do that on my cell phone.
