I Have Something to Say

So we can put a man on the moon, we can calculate distances to billions of light-years, we have built pyramids, great walls and space ships.

All of these great feats... but we cannot stop telemarketers from calling our phones. 4 house calls so far today, others to my mobile... I'm on the laughing-joke "DO NOT CALL" list...

Surely this can't be as hard as the eradication of smallpox?

The moon landings never happened and space doesn’t exist

I have a friend thst get 5 calls a day from some kind of health benefits thing. He's tried being nice and telling them he's not interested, they don't listen. So now he's just yelling at them every time they call.

@CCMorgan Fianlly listened to this. It's hilarious. I sent the link to my friend I was telling you about. He loved it.

One of my fun little tricks was to answer and set the phone down then go about my business until I hear that siren sound indicating the receiver off the hook.

@katielass Haha! Been a while since I've tried this. I'll have to resurrect the idea 😆

@CCMorgan I had all kinds of tricks when I used a landline. You can pretend to be deaf, or almost. Irritates the crap out of them to be asked repeatedly to repeat. lol I;ve actually had them hang up on me.

Great stuff!

Telemarketers,like throwing water on a gremlin. They multiply and multiply and multip...well, you get the idea.

I have a button on my phone so I can block solicitors. 🙂

CCMorgan · 51-55, M

@SW-User Wish it worked permanently that way 😏
Honestly though, the numbers just keep changing, so you have to keep blocking... I block them every chance I can. Biggest mistake is talking to a "bot" and then they know a real human answers the phone(!)

The struggle is real! Lol...

SW-User

@CCMorgan I know! My usual response was to pick up the phone then hang up. But I have caller ID, so now if I see that, without talking the call, I just push the block button. Better than nothing!

we are the weirdest fucking species huh?

CCMorgan · 51-55, M

@SW-User We certainly are that, my friend :)

The 3rd world needs the jobs, needs the money. As humans don't share anymore, we share now with annoyance of phone calls.
