    Everyone gets calls from telecom companies wanting to reduce our phone bills right? Well I've started to use the Seinfeld method on them.

    Annoying Telecom Caller: Hello, could i speak to the person who pays the phone bills please.
    Me: What's this in relation to?
    ATC: Cheaper calls.
    ME: I'm sorry I'm very busy at the moment, can I take your mobile number and ring ya back?
    ATC: Eh...We can't really do that.
    ME: Oh you don't like to get calls at home?
    ATC: Exactly
    ME: Well now you know how it feels. *Hang up*

    Excellent idea. This will most certainly be employed next time those eircon bastards ring up pimping their wares wanting us to switch back.

    Great :) We get so many of them calls being in the US!

    telmarketer:hello can I have a few moments of your time?
    wife: ok..
    telemarketer:would you like to save money on your phone bill?
    wife:what phone?
    telemarketer:your current phone
    wife:what phone, Im not talking on any phone
    telemarketer:so you're not talking to me right now? some sort of magic phone service is it?
    wife: yep!
    telemarketer:anyway would you still like to save money on your phone service?
    wife:not really, why dont you use the phone service to save you money?
    telemarkter: well I do but its still not free.

    It ended shortly after that, but I bet it made the telemarketers day instead of the usual conversation :)
