A good start to the campaign

As mentioned in this article, I'm now telling all telemarketers to "please hold" whenever they phone me at home. Then leave them hanging on indefinitely while they decide how long they should stay on the line.

So tonight I get a call at home, the first line being

Marketing parasite: "can I speak to the homeowner who is between 20 and....."
Me(in the friendliest and most genuine voice I can muster): Sure, that's me. Can I just put you on hold for a sec...
[put phone on speaker, check the time, carry on doing what I was doing and wait for the phone to start beeping]

This took a whopping 5 minutes, 20 seconds. Well done marketing scumbag. Looking forward to the next one
