- Okay, so you get a huge phone bill and this is your mistake: Fine! You
f****'d up: you pay for it. Just be responsible of your own act.You leave
the house and leave all your electrical appliance switched-on, boiler full
blast: you pay for the bills no?
- People can multitask (although this is not usually recognised as a male
capability).

But the point is still; The call is not dead... You are not alone on the
line: There are people talking !!!! Once everyone is disconnected: Ok: you
can kill the call.... But not before for god sake...!!!!
