Some lady called me and said, “Our records show that there is someone hard of hearing in your household.”. I said, “ WHAT? I can’t hear you.” I hear CLICK.
If, when called, I have to wait for someone to answer the other end of the call I usually hang up.
Sometimes I answer and use the hard of hearing routine.
“Who do you work for?” Repeated servial times.
One question I really like,”What are you trying to sell me?”
Sometimes I say,”I don’t have time to talk right now. When I hang up please call back and I will let it go to voice mail. Thank you, “
