Also the two people I mentioned above in my telemarketing thing were Australian.

I can feel sorry for the telemarketers overseas, I am still going to hang up on them. It's grand when you can tell they are overseas ones from the start as it rings again and then in the ring I just hang up.

Edit: It's funny that you mention No n Yeah Xxmad. This No and Yeah thing seems to be quite Australian. I do it and my last GF got crappy at it.

Apparently immaturity like that is okay now.

so i managed to loosely pull off the classic lines from seinfeld a few times
Marketing person offering some deal..
ME: sure but I'm kinda busy...can I have your home number and I'll give you a call back later
MARKETING PERSON: ahh..no sir, I can't do that
ME: oh ok...I guess you don't want anyone calling you at home
MARKETING PERSON: well, yes...that's right
ME: well now you know how i feel
and of course then hang up...
