They hung up quickly!
and one I liked doing was to put the phone down and leave them talking to themself, and I would go back out to the front of the shop.
I would go back out to the phone about 10 minutes later and they were gone.
BUT!!! once a guy was still talking non stop 
I just said "I'll take 2 thousand, and I want them delivered this afternoon" and then I hung up while he was blubbering "2 thousand? huh, what?" 
Yep, It can be fun  |
lol brilliant creativity there!

I just don't answer the phone. Genuine callers usually leave a message on the answering machine , if that's the case I'll answer the phone. I freaking hate charities ringing me, I really try my best to be kindly tell them to take a hike. It's hard enough keeping my own head above water so I ain't giving anyone any money. And who knows where that money goes anyway (a la Vic bushfires .. people still living in caravans
)
That brings me to another thing.... bloody derrr brains asking if you want to take part in a survey, like "would you be interested in including yourself as part of a study of the property prices in your area?"...
