Very, very OT, non motoring venting of spleen.
.........<telephone rings>
I get up from table working at home to a tight deadline, a touch stressed. Answer the phone: (Automated message) "Are nuisance calls driving you crazy on your telephone <casual laugh> - I bet I know the answer. We have the solution ........" (Me): "Are you taking the absolute fucking piss, fuck off!" Can anyone else see the irony of this particular nuisance call. Twats. #excusethecolourfullanguage |

We ask the fuckers to hold on a minute & see how long they manage
Either that or just take the piss out of them & see how long they last before hanging up. |

The problem is they just hang up and it puts your number back into their system for another call.

If it's a woman i ask what knickers she has. If its a bloke i ask what knickers he has on. Both seem to work pretty well.
Id like to point out im only interested in womens kickers. The sniffing and wearing there of. |

Same here.
Although I do get the odd one. Couple months ago I had one of those foreign 'have you been in an accident' ones. So I answers the phone. 'Hello we hear you have been in accident' Me - 'no I have not' Them ' you had car accident' Me - 'no I am only 16' Them ' oh can I speak to parent' Me ' they were killed in an accident when I was young' Pause, pause... Them ' Do you want to make a claim'.... Never miss a chance do they. |

Girl at work had a nuisance call. Usual Microsoft update type one. After the cutomary no thanks I don't even have a computer / Mac.......the agent told her that her house would be bombed in the next 20 minutes! Outrageous! As if Microsoft could coordinate anything in 20 minutes.

Seriously waste their time then you get blacklisted and not called again.
Best not to answer by name and then when they ask say you'll just go get him and then just leave the phone on the side. You can make a game of how long they wait, usually it's less than 1m but my record so far is just over 5! |
