Is it true that when someone phones you, if you don't hang up, even though they have, that their phone line will be unable to be used until you hang up your phone?
When I get marketing morons call me on the telephone trying to push goods or services, this is how I respond.
ring ring ring ring ring ring ring
'Somebody get that farking phone!'
ring ring ring ring ring ring ring
'Fer farks sake! Farking answer the farking phone!'

Actually it isn't like that at all.
Ring ring ring ring ring
'Hello Malted speaking.'
Bzzz, click "Hello I would like to speak to Mr Malted please."
'Ah yes, one moment please I'll get him for you.'
Then I put the phone down on the bench and go and mow the lawn or watch some tv or tinker in the shed.
I'd like to think it fecks up ther comms lines.
