Hook and Ladder


the act of using the sound of a ringing phone (actual phone or mp3 of ringing phone) to get off the phone with an annoying person.

also known as: ring f-cking, designated caller

but here’s what i do. on the desktop i keep an mp3 of a cell phone ring. i start very early in the conversation and run the “hook and ladder” (play the mp3). then i run the play again about two minutes later. both times the other person says, ‘do you have to get that?’ and i take a moment, and sigh irritatedly, ‘no, it’s not important.’ then the third time, i say, “look, it’s clear this guy isn’t going to leave me alone, let me get this. i’ll give you a call back as soon as i can.”
