I remember those days. I'd give them 20 min from the time I first picked up, then say in a clear voice, "you have 5 minutes". In 5 min, I'd take the phone off the hook, and if they were still on, I'd put the phone on the floor, and play with the buttons with my feet, as I watched tv. Didn't take long for 'them' to catch my drift after that.
