What is Hook And Ladder?
1.
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 fucking, 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.”
