What a bunch of jerks !

[tlcabk]

That is hysterical I just laughed so hard I cried.

[thereshope]

Too funny, Thanks, I needed the laughs.

[TroubleinCalif]

That had Abbott and Costello all over it..... Nice one!

[nerves]

Pacific and Amy - that you for the good laugh. I definately needed it after fighting with the mortgage company today. Them bastards!

[Amy26]

My favorite thing to harass them with is when they call ... hi, may I speak to Amy26? Me: Sorry, she is on the other line right now. them: May I leave a call back number? or something to that effect. Me: yes, please give me your number. them: 800-bla-blah me: no, I'm sorry that's not the right number them: huh? me: I asked for YOUR phone number so I can have her call you back them: Yes, that was the number I gave you. me: No, you gave me a 800 number. I will not be able to reach YOU at that number. Please give me your home phone number so I may call you and harass you when you're eating dinner.

Now, the rest of the conversation after this can be quite entertaining depending on how frustrated the other person is. I had one guy that was this outlandish southern gent and he was like sure I'd give you my home number but my mother doesn't like it when people call...

Use your own imagination for the rest of the call...

sound like she was working for acorn

ha ha ha ha

There is nothing better than givin it back to them, If it's a long drawn out speech I sit there and let them ramble on blah, blah, blah when they finish I say nothing, they say hello and I say oh I am sorry I was not listening what did you say? It's good fun. They usually butcher my last name so they will ask for Mr. whoever, not even close to how you pronounce it and I say nope nobody here by that name, bye.

I think there are people out there that enjoy that sort of thing. Kind of like the people that volunteer to be code enforcement officers..They just love to harass others and be in a position of power over others. Probably a large number of college students too, just trying to pay their way through school and a job is a job.

Oh well, I enjoy messing with them. It's not too often that I get to just talk over the other person in a phone call. That's what I've started doing with all of these people now. I just don't let them talk. I figure if they can't get a word in, then they can't harass me.

think the hall monitors in high school

[PacificBlue]

Nope, no beeping unless it hits the end of the tape. (yeah, it's the old style tiny tapes).

I wont have anymore until about January 3 or 4th. We are taking off for two weeks in the morning. Christmas Vacation!! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[CCsAreEvil]

Ah ok. I thought you were doing that as part of the "bit". So, does it actually make the beep noises? I know in some states, it's required by law.

[PacificBlue]

Actually the phone conversation was recorded. (my memory wouldn't hold that much info). We set up our phone last year to record calls (Radio Shack $19.00) because when one of my doctors would call my wife (when she wasn't here) wanted to hear everything they were telling me. (eat this, do that, don't do this blah, blah).

I have a wonderful marriage, so I say this with all the love... My wife and I have a perfect relationship of trust and understanding.... she doesn't trust me or understand me.

[CCsAreEvil]

Would be funny if you had some type of audio device in the background that simulated "beeps" for phone recordings so it actually sounded like you were recording the conversation.

[bkpain]

way to give it back to'em!

[Chucksoutalu]

Now thats funny!! It made my day

[iv65536]

Me? I thought sending them to an outgoing message consisting of a telephone company recording stating that a coin deposit is required to complete the call, followed by the noise the phone makes when it is left off the hook too long, would get them to get the message.
