The calls are irritating. I think I get one every other day.

There's no punishment for doing it. And until there is ... they will keep dialing your number.

There is no punishment for doing it and enough people respond to make it worthwhile...

Yep. Had a phone call 3 minutes ago from one of these robocallers. There's no way to stop them from calling other than blocking the number. But that's playing whack a mole.

We should be making bots in python and spamming them back tbh.

Bastards have been calling me for years on a car that’s certified for 6 years and 100k miles.

The DOT compliance a-holes are the worst. I’ve asked to be taken off their lists countless times. I don’t even need an effing DOT certification!

I wish I had the time for low level revenge.

But alas I just don't.

Or just tell them that I'll have plenty of time and money for them as soon as that Nigerian prince gets back to me.

My parents love the ones who tell them that if they don't pay up, their computer will be locked in the next 15 minutes. They like to say, that's what you said a week ago and no one locked it and hang up.

Wife got a call yesterday from the local power company saying we didn't pay our bill and they would cut off our power in 35 minutes if she didn't press ONE immediately.

She told me we paid it...but what if they lost it or something?

I said hang up...wait 35 minutes and watch nothing happen.

Nothing happened.


I'm always right.

I get the robo voice telling me my SS# is involved in fraudulent activity at the Texas/ Mexico border.

Damn caravans got my deets oh noooo!

I was mean while I was eating my breakfast.
I was in a Wawa parking lot eating a crappy breakfast sandwich and a guy tapped on my window to ask if he could 'borrow' a cigarette (I haven't smoked for 5 years).
I pointed at the convenience store in front of me and said... "They sell them in there."

I'm not familiar with CNN's daily lineup, so I'll just say bonus points if you put him up against Don Lemon.

I had a college professor who told a story about his wife dealing with one. They were trying to sell her siding. She told them she lived in a cave. This one was cannier than most and pointed out that a cave would not have a phone, and she said they hung it on a tree outside.

The story loses its luster when you consider this same professor also murdered his wife brutally by stabbing her multiple times about 10 years after that ... but ...

It's whoever comes on at noon. I switched over from FOX at that time since I hate the panel shows.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I don't know who any of the daily lineup are on any of the channels. I've more or less banned them for the time being unless there's something really important going on. Listening to the news anymore irritates, and I prefer to read it. So I'm sure the telemarketer loved whatever it was.

Ever since the Guilfoyle and Andrea Tarantula left FOX with their short skirts and high heels I've lost interest.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I used to enjoy the two midday ladies on FOX - Megyn and Shepard.

a reply to: ketsuko

I'm not into old women.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

As a woman, I wasn't watching them for eye candy value. Shep used to be stupid in an entertaining way, and Megyn used to occasionally have something interesting to say.
