I have every phone line I have on "do not call" lists, but I'm still getting them.
So, how do you deal with them?
I've tried the epic Tom Mabe approach. I'm not as smooth as him but it was fun.
I tried my own spin on the Mabe theme one day: Instead of being the cops investigating the scene, I was cleaning up a scene. I told the 'boys' to "roll up the carpet and carry it down and put it in the trunk, but don't let anyone see you, and it's not my fault he's that heavy, just get it out of here. And find the casings." I asked the nice lady if she knew how to get blood stains out of curtains. She had no ideas, and nothing to offer on deodorants to cover the smell of recently released bowels.
I've wandered the "Windows Support" guy around a while and then asked where the key he was asking me to press was relative to the Apple key on my keyboard. (No, I'm not an Apple guy, but I'll claim to be one to harass those jackwagons. )
I really PO'd one one day when I told them they were lying to me and that lying is bad for their soul. I'm not sure why that one hit so well.
Other ideas or techniques to share?
- The call that claims I called for information.
- The Robot Voice tells me I R S will be filing suit.
- The nice young man with the Mumbai accented English named "Larry" tells me he's from Windows Support.
