On the telephone callers shit list

[Foul Mike]

It has been over a week since my friend, Raj Gupta, has called me and I am bored. Weather is shitty and cooped up in the house.
Oh Happy Days, Raj's friends called me this morning with some kind of scam or another but Raj was busy elsewhere and couldn't talk to me so they hung up before I could give them my best rap and keep them on the line as long as possible. Just as soon as they heard my voice, bam, hang up and don't call again?

Is this some kind of voice recognition thing??? They are not providing me with the Telephone Hour entertainment I was hoping for.

To date, the best one I have had on the phone was for 23 minutes and I gave him more numbers from off the wall than he could handle.

He had a nasty mouth and questioned my parentage among other things but I stuck with him as to how to talk Foul, then he hung up.

Now it is crickets. Where did I go wrong? FM

As my kid would say, old people......

Glad you had a little fun, just go shoot yer 22 from the truck at the 25 yd target.
you should hit 3 targets left in this darn wind.

Blew my flag down off my house in the night.
Got a new super bright light on her and everything.

going for longer screw/anchors than I have to get it back up.
also need to sort out how to get alerts for wind advisories so I can bring it in during the next one.

I played around with those types in the past, but now it's just not worth my energy.

So I get an air horn, put on ear protection and give them a 2 second blast after we start talking. We're usually done talking about 5 seconds after that.

abn, did you see ground blowing?
A lot of this strong wind is up a ways so far but some stuff is dusting a mite.

My favorite is the text messages. It is computer generated until you respond. Then it goes to a person. I always send a GIF or some random emoji. I had one guy text me, "What are you doing? That makes no sense. What do you want? I will do that for days or even weeks until they block MY number......

I love to keep those pricks on the line as long as I can. I figure the longer I keep them tied up, the less people they can scam. I usually work my way up two or three levels of managers before I've had enough and finally tell them I have one more question; "Would stop f*****g stop calling me?" Oh man, do they get mad!! They're pissed because I'm wasting their time. They start cussing me, threatening me, and anything they can think of. I'm steady laughing my ass off. They do stop calling after that.

99% of the time it's either car warranty or credit card rate reduction scam. It's always "we've been trying to get in touch with you, and this is the last call".

If I have time, I'll talk to the person, and always ask, which one (car or credit card) as I have a few? That flusters them, and they hang up on me.
