LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

Re: LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

Well I just got another call. Nice sounding lady. Getting ready to go out to eat with the wife so I had to keep it short.

Asked her her if I could sniff panties, and then give each other "rolling brown outs".

For you sick members here who don't know what a rolling brown out is, google it.

I have to ask then. Why do you have a landline? I got rid of mine years ago when the last of the kids moved out.

It's part of a package deal with my internet - saves me a couple of pennies from time to time. Plus, now I only have to carry the cell phone that the mothership loaned me, having two of them was mildly annoying.

When they want to verify place of residence, I give them random addresses in my apartment complex. A few times the sheriff office has showed up to serve civil processes. It costs collectors money to file that shit. Lol.

Maybe one day they'll find the elusive Frank Johnson.

Nice touch.

Re: LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

I have my home phone hooked to a Panasonic UF 6000 fax machine; the phone being piggybacked to the fax. With the advent of modern technology, incoming numbers flash on the TV screen so I know who it is. It has been 3 years now and I rarely get these calls anymore.
After getting the lovely "handshake" tone a few times, the number is pulled from the dial lists.

When one of them does sneak through, I like to make it exciting for them. I usually do one of the following things.
-Repeatedly scream "Mom, I'm on the phone!!" as loud as I can every 30 seconds or so.
-Put on porn and turn up the volume to an inappropriate level.
-Swear a lot.
-Randomly change my voice to a different accent; British and Pakistani are my favorites.
-Ask them to hold on a second, put the phone down, and go about my day.

If you get a male collector calling you with a stern tone of voice, you can respond to them and let them know it's turning you on. Telling them to keep talking, cause you're almost finished.

The creepier and nastier the better.

I should really record my conversations. Might be able to do something like Tom Mabe, but with a focus on debt collectors.

A few years back my employer who's HQ is in NY issued us all smart phones. Around 300 techs scattered around the country with NY phone numbers. The first year was fun. Most of those numbers were recycled. Constant debt collector and robo calls.

I wasn't sick until I googled it. Thanks. I could have went all day without that mental picture.

I learned not to do that when a computer guy who used to work here had me check out lemonparty.org. That was 5 or 6 years ago and I almost have the image deleted from my memory.

I remind my boys and junior staff from time-to-time. "Once you loose your personal value system, you become less than the ground you walk on; even dog sh!t rises above the ground and has a use as fertiliser."

The junior staff look at you from a different point of view after that....

Did not visit the site. But remember seeing it years ago. The mental scars never leave.
