Here’s my favorite
Caller : Hello, would you like us to clean your Ducts
Me : why yes, I think they are rather dirty
Caller : Well let me tell you about our...
Me (interrupting) : Do you want me to load them up and bring them to your shop?
Caller : wait..what
Me : I can bring them over, or you can clean them at my place?
Caller : I am calling with an offer to clean your ducts!
Me : Exactly, I have 12 ducKs in my back yard
For some reason the Air Duct cleaning guy always hangs up!
Sometimes when they spoof a local number I like to carry on a conversation about the town or some long lost friend or cousin that lives there or used to live there.
I ask if they know my cousin Jimmy or Jerry or Esther. Then I ask if they’ve had the hot beef sandwich special at the diner because I’ve been thinking of going there for lunch. If they see Jimmy or Jerry or Esther ask them if they’s like to meet us there.
Maybe 6:00? etc.
