A telesales with a heavy accent just phoned saying:

"Hello, can I speek to de owner of de business?"

I said "sure, one moment please" and put them on hold.. (Another call was coming in)

after half a min, I picked up the call, they're still there so I hung up without a word...

I'm not sure how the phone systems work over there, but if someone calls in on your toll-free line, that charges your company with the bill. I know, you're not footing the bill, but, eh. I do that with telemarketers at home ALL the time, though. Just rack up and waste their time.

My company line is just a normal land line, so the caller pays.. (don't think telesales will call toll-free lines coz they'll just have machines speaking back to them)

But yeah, with calls to my home/personal line I would just hang up without hesitating.. but coz it's a company line I need to sound more polite.. but I couldn't be bothered so I secretly hung up on them after they've waited xD
