What to do with unwanted calls

[T3l Ca7]

Last Saturday ...

(Ring Ring Ring )

ME> Hello

Lady> We are (XXX) charity, we stop animal cruelty and promote world peace

Me> I am the cleaner, no one else is at home


She couldn't hang up faster.

I dunno about where you live, but in Finland it's possible to take your number out of the telephone marketing/survey etc directory.

[Superted]

As in England, but people are too lazy for that.

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Last night I ate a decent buffalo chicken pizza.

PIZZA GUY> That'll be $10.75

ME> Okay. Could I get two dollars back?

PIZZA GUY> Yeah, thanks man.

ME> No problem, buddy.

(This actually happened.)

I dont give a damn about charities and sales-people trying to get funny from you over the phone. Just send your crap through the post, gad-damnit, so then i can just bin it.

Usual conversation with sale-person:

Me> Hello
Salesman> Hello, is Mr. *Surname* at home?
(as i'm not the owner of the household)
Me> Just a minute...
Elder (Me)> Sorry, but i dont give a sh*t what your trying to sell me, so dont f*cking ever ring this number again!
(they can't tell much difference as my voice is deep enough as it is).

Problem is, that if you're ex-directory, you can only make outgoing calls and you can't receive any.

I'm ex-directory and I recieve plenty of calls.

[SaucyKing]

Okay, so I talked to this telemarketer for awhile about whatever the fuck he was trying to sell, and this is how it went.

"...okay. This sounds real interesting. Can I get your phone number?"

"Excuse me?"

"Your phone number. So I can call you later and get more info, you know."

"I'm sorry sir, I can't let you call me at home."

"So you don't like people bothering you at home either, huh?"

"Uh-"

*hangs up*

[H I M]

You sure got him, Saucy.

I usually say "Je nais parle Anglais" to people trying to sell me stuff. They usually look kinda bewildered and run away quite quickly.

[Ephemeral]

If it is a woman calling, I simply start talking dirty. Not cursing, I mean sex talk. This can not be considered an obscene call, since she called me. They have no 'flow chart' answer for that.

If it is a man calling, I simply tell them that I have no money, I just declared bankrupcy. They have no 'flow chart' answer for that either.

PIZZA GUY> Yeah, thanks man.

I don't get it.

[cundor]

Me neither

[Cops]

I don't get it.

I think he's making fun of TelCat for telling everyone about all her life events no matter how in-significant they may be.

[Bilbo]

In that case, rock on Concrete.

[eehh]

next time, give the phone to the guy outside your window, you know, the one looking in at you.. then he can talk to her.
