My cousin places the phone on the table and walks away. He puts it on speakerphone so that he can hear the telemarketer. Apparently, they get in big trouble if they ever hang up on you. They have to go through this script, basically, that the caller is unresponsive and that they have tried all reasonable means to continue the call before they hang up. And some of their equipment does not enable them to hang up at all, so he's had a couple of people pleading with him to please hang up from his end so that they can continue their work. I had no idea that this was the case!
