1. The do not call registry is a joke. It does not stop robo calls at all and they are increasing
2. Most of the people are just workers at a crummy job because we don’t have jobs that are productive anymore and we have to make jobs to push services that nobody really wants or needs.
3. I used to just not answer or pick up and immediately hang up.
4. Now, when they call at dinner I do several things depending on how nasty I want to be and how bad a day it has been. I use them to take out my frustrations instead of getting a dog or something to kick. I pretend they are obongo or some other politician or person at work I hate.
5. I always tell them to please not call me any more in a very clear voice then I launch into my rage where I ask for their home number so I can call them back at midnight (one actually gave it), I tell them if they ever call me again I will find a way to hunt them down but nothing more than that, I told one this morning it is Sunday morning and that he has invaded my privacy (he actually apologized), I like the talking porn to them angle that might be fun.
I am going to use them as whipping boys or as entertainment in every way I can. I am also going to be downright mean and nasty.
By answering you validate your number as “active” and the telemarketers sell your number to the next telemarketers/scammers.
