About 3 months before we paid our house off we began getting calls from one company urging us to re-finance with them. I explained a couple of times that we weren’t interested and could they please remove us from their call list. The calls kept coming. One day I said yes, I’m interested but you caught me outside on the portable, let me go inside. I grabbed my Charter Arms Bulldog on the way out and 2 minutes into his spiel I put it up to the phone and let loose. After about 5 or 6 times the supervisor called me, complaining that he had 2 workers out on workers comp because of my actions. I asked him if he realized how stupid he was just as I cut loose on him. Never had another call from them.
LOL, love it! I still have a landline. Most of the time I don't answer the phone unless I recognize the number. If the same number calls more than once in a day then I'll answer. I have a window alarm, bought it back when the Dollar Tree actually sold things for a buck. This is the best purchase I've made! I let them start their spiel and then I just turn the alarm on, instant hang up. One day I actually had a woman call back and tell me she had to hang up because there was a strange noise on the line, I said, oh, you mean like this? and I set it off again. She called back AGAIN, I told her the reason she keeps hearing it is because I'm NOT interested, I set if off again, she has yet to call back and that was about a year or more ago!
I would have tried to get Worker’s Comp to DENY the claims.
