My new hero

I hate cold calls from telemarketers - especially the ones that call around dinner time and launch into their spiel without even asking if you if you have a moment (as if you would have time for them anyway?)

This guy told telemarketers he was going to charge them £10 per minute of his time they took up. He then invoiced them, and successfully sued for payment of the invoice in UK small claims court. Brilliant!
