Step 1

Pick up your phone.

Step 2

Look through the list of phone numbers to find the one you need.

Step 3

Dial the number and wait for the ringing tone.

Step 4

If it rings, you're one lucky bastard.

If somebody answers on the fourth tone, I think Santa Claus loves you.

Most of the time, you'll usually get that annoying engaged tone. Kindda makes you go deaf if you hear it one too many times. Even Santa Claus's son will turn to snow with a beard of course.

If it rings - read on.

If you get that annoying engaged tone - repeat Steps 1 - 4.

Step 5

Wait for someone to answer.

Wait...

and wait....

and wait........

and wait............

till the annoying engaged tone comes on again.

you can count the seconds go by on your watch while waiting

or look around and analyse your colleague's bald spot

or just put your receiver down, go to the loo, grab a cuppa, whatever. if someone does answer, that mother effer can wait. chances are, there won't be anyone to answer.Why?

That's right. You've been hit! It's National Press 'Let's Not Pick Up Calls' Day! And you're the lucky one, dude!

Try going through this 50 times a day. It's a sure great way to commit suicide. Painless too.
