[Note: See the Cold Callers page for an explanation of what these posts are all about.]
I thought of a new game to play. The rules are very simple. All you need is a phone and a stop watch.
When you receive a cold call, when asked if Mr or Mrs X or the householder are available, say “Yes, hold on a minute” & stay standing there with the phone. Now the fun begins.
- Start the stop watch.
- Wait until they hang up (Do not sneeze or giggle!).
- Stop the stop watch.
My record as of today (27th Dec 2005) is 6 minutes 20 seconds!
Awesome stuff, that’s several other people whose time has not been wasted by the cold callers!
