I’m on that No Call list, but I don’t think that “Bill from Microsoft” (I don’t think his name is really Bill.) has access to that list. Him, or that robot lady who keeps calling saying that she’s with my credit card company. Robot ladies apparently don’t know the name of my actual credit card company.

I’ll trade you the robocaller from the IRS Collection Service that is there to offer me a deal before they serve me with papers. Um, IRS never calls first, it’s return receipt registered mail, and nobody ever calls before serving papers or a warrant. That gives you time to warm up the dog, load up your guns, or… leave. I am on the DNC and I get better than 30 of these a day.
Now Lowell, must have gone to ‘bust a cheater’ and paid the $ to get the number… 🙂 Lowell IS being Lowell though, making this phone call about Mal….
End of call: “Look, guy, I don’t know who you are, or who you think I am, but I ain’t never heard of no ‘Hubris’. But, if you need a sink unclogged, call back during normal business hours.”
OH, FREAK…the last panel is just REALLY FREAKY TO ME.
Can we put Lowell into a cage for a few days? lol
No, it’s not Bill from Microsoft, it’s Raul. Don’t forget the one that wants to extend the warranty on your car. Or offers to reshingle your roof. Or the calls for the people who had your number before you…and you’ve had your number for seven years.
I hate getting calls from the Florida Police Benevolent Association. They can buy their own life insurance.
Years ago the mill I was at kept getting calls from the home office in Phoenix wanting to know the model number of our copier. Since they were simply trying to sell us recycled cartridges I had free reign to completely mess with them.
I wish I had recorded them. People actually make a little cash selling them to radio stations now and I had some good ones. You know you were successful when the telemarketer hangs up on you.
Back when I felt like I had the time, I used to mess with telemarketers a bit. It was cruel, and I sort of knew it. Once, I was kind of apologizing to one guy, and said that I understood that he was only a telemarketer. He went a little nuts, then, and I had to hear him loudly pronounce that he resented the ‘only’ comment and that he really and truly helped people. I didn’t catch the rest, because I was laughing so hard and had to hang up. I’m a mean, mean man.
¬”¬ Don’t get me started on That hog wash.

My apologies. It’s one of those hot-button thingies with me. Telemarketers, the DNC list… Any and all of it.
I believe it’s what kids today refer to as “triggered”.
