[PA Engineer]

When I was 17 I got a summer job working the phones for Olen Mills studios. One man told me “you people are lower than a snake’s belly” then hung up. I still remember it. :-)

I had a call from Olen Mills about 15 years ago during dinner. I asked "Is this a joke?" then went on to state " I have not had a portrait since the fire". She apologized and that ended the calls. My Wife and Daughter were choking on their food.

One other memorable answer was again during dinner. I can't remember who was calling, but I answered that this was a mortuary in a very serious tone. My Wife and Daughter took the bait and began crying loudly in the background. They immediately apologized and said they would remove our number.

I have never insulted anyone, but I try to have fun. Bank Services is one of my favs to play games with. I always ask for Peggy when they pick up. They can be rude sometimes, but it is fun when a new employee picks up.

I always say “can you hold on a minute?” Then I lay the phone down and walk off. After awhile they hang up and usually they don’t call back. Although since I got on the do not call list I haven’t had any problems.
