the word for the night is fluster
i've been getting calls all summer (even tho i'm supposedly on the do not call list) from an automated caller that says they want to speak with my about my account.
now, i understand that if it is a company that i have done business with before, or it's a political party, they can call. and i understand that not everyone follows the do not call list (not mandatory unfortunately).
these assholes fall into the 3rd category. at no time during the call, do they say WHO they are, or WHAT account they want to discuss with me, yet they seem to call me 3-4 times a week without fail. so when they called tonight, i actually answered the phone and pressed 1 to speak with a live person.
so, douchebag asshole gets on the line and starts rambling about something, so i stop him and ask why they keep calling me. he hits the rewind button and starts rambling so i try and ask what it is they do, are they a bank, or some sort of generic consolidator.
apparently 'generic' completely threw douchebag asshole for a loop and before i had a chance to ask them to remove me from their call list, he muttered something (i don't think he swore at me) and then promptly hung up on me.
i have no idea if they will call me again, but i think they will. in the meantime, i think i'll see if i can put together a quick fax server and plug it into my phone. maybe that way it will actually remove me if it thinks this isn't a phone, but a fax.
i wonder if someone has a telezapper i could borrow...
