Great answer. Did you see what number it came from? I don't answer my landline anymore but my NBN modem records all incoming calls. Get a mixture of blank numbers, real numbers that are no longer active, and what appears to be a dodgy international number (long number starts with 0011).

You might have to rethink the PJ's and tooth brush Hans.
PJ legs could be tied together and you could hang someone or yourself and the tooth brush could be sharpened one end and used like a dagger

All you have to do is breath heavily as though you're getting off while talking to them & they hang up on you every time. Works like a charm.

Our son-in-law says to them, "I'll just get the wife, hold on." Then he puts the phone right next to the radio, tunes in to the crackling noise between stations & turns the volume up fully.
When we get the calls about our 'Windows' having a problem, hubby says, "Great that you've called - I've just taken all the flyscreens off, ready for when you get here."

I just tell them that's interesting seeing as I only have Apple computers , which is quickly followed by a click and silence

I told one person who said he was from Telstra that he'd actually called a internal Telstra help desk. On another occcasion I strung the guy along then said that I've kept him on the line long enough to get a trace done on his call. Both calls ended in a barrage of foul language.

I got a call from an Indian lady last week saying she was from Telstra and could I identify myself to continue the conversation. My reply was that she cold called me and I needed her to identify herself to me. Fortunately she could as she was replying to an NBN connection issue that I was having.
