This would be a combination mute button, digital voice recorder, and audio line break inserter that would record your voice while your caller is speaking, wait until they've stopped speaking, switch you to another line, play back your response ("Great, gotta go, Bye!") and hang up.
Like a most
boring caller would talk for, say, two or three minutes before hearing your recording, and you'd be by then well into another call.

Tech support hint: Hang up while YOU'RE talking. They'll call back, but they'll probably get someone else and think the problem was their phone line.. |

Been using that one for years, StarChaser. It works like a charm, doesn't it? |

Another trick- if you've got a mute button- is to tap the button repeatedly so the caller thinks they've got a bad line and hangs up themselves. That way, your manager can't see that you hung up on someone- which some phone systems can detect. |
