Why would you answer the phone if it's not a number you recognize? Especially at 4 in the morning. We get calls from collectors for someone named Wally Dover all the time. I recently bought an airhorn and started blowing it into the receiver when they call. God help them if they're wearing a headset...
I'm disappointed in you ima. Wally Dover? Have you exhaused the Ben...Ilene and Irene jokes? Any calls for Biggus Dickus?
We have friends/family who have registered as Private Callers. There are elderly parents and such and it could be a true emergency... which was my first thought.
I wish he were. He's one of the FEW guys with whom I OFTEN DISAGREE with whom I can have an exchange. Admit it, Batman, you're not really interested in a discussion. I just want all of you to know that YOU are as frustrating to deal with as you see me being!!!!!!!
LOL, that's the guy's real name. I don't know anything else about him except that he used to have my phone number and apparently has a million creditors chasing him. I tried being nice with these buffoons but they keep calling looking for him. Hence, the airhorn. Really? Why would they do that? Honest question.
I don't know why. I think it begins with not being listed and feeling free to call anyone without empowering them to capture your phone number and/or calling you back. I find it to be an annoyance and I don't understand the concept of allowing someone to come into your home telephonically without being held accountable... such as the case of the angry caller who harassed us. He probably doesn't even remember doing it.... I HOPE.
I have never said I was. I am a poster stating my opinion which is what we do here. As I mentioned earlier I've had a similar situation. I don't know if you have but its not a good feeling getting harassing calls, or in my case text messages.
[rquoter]Ned: [sleepy] Howdily-diddely. Phone: Greetings, friends. Do you wish to look... Ned: [hangs up] Oh, it's that darn recording again. Maude: Of course it was. It's been calling all night. Just unplug the phone. [Ned turns out the light -- the phone rings again] Ned: Howdily-di... Phone: Greetings, friends... [Ned hangs up] Ned: Dang! Maude: I told you to unplug the phone. Ned: But it could be my mother! [the phone rings] Howdy... Phone: Greetings, friends... Ned: [hangs up] Shoot! Maude: That is it, Ned! If you don't unplug that phone right now, you're sleeping on the lawn. Homer: [outside his window] Will you two shut up?! People are trying to sleep![/rquoter]
