Catman25 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 So I just got a call by "Allied Interstate." Apparently they collect debts or something. They've been calling me constantly at odd intervals when I didn't have my phone, so I finally picked up at 8 in the morning. Some random lady called looking for someone I'd never heard of. Now I'm awake. Discuss annoying calls such as this, salesmen, or automated messages wanting you to vote. ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 So my mom tells me there's this donation company who requests my mom to be participated, and we did some. But they won;t stop, and they are annoying, that I have to lay down their every call Now I'll just Rickroll them from now on. > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 God I remember watching the BBC where they got a sales call at [b]just after midnight[/b]. We had TalkTalk call 4 times in 4 days, in fact 2 of them were from the same person, they got around it by asking for 2 different people. Sales people never both to identify themselves...they do when we call them. We had another energy company call and when my dad asked the saving (they're actually supposed to tell you this anyhow) of £3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Ryder Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Once I picked up my dad's mobile from a prankster and said 'Screw you, get a life! Just think about having kids, yeah?' Then I disconnected :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn of Elemia Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 If the Caller ID says "Toll Free Number" or "Not Provided", I usually don't answer it and let the answering machine get it. If they leave a message and I recognize the voice, then I will answer it. Otherwise, I don't even bother. If it ain't important, they usually don't leave a message - and if it's utter BS, I just delete it and never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 If I ever pick up one of those calls, I do one of two things. [i]Hello, would you be interested in our new product? [/i]Yes, you have called [stalker county] police department, what is the emergency? [i]But, I called the house number on my list. [/i]Yes, our police department has an extra, ten-digit number. Now please state your emergency. [i]I'm sorry, but I thought... [/i]If you do not have an emergency, we will track your call and send you to jail. And happiness ensues. [b]OR. [/b][i]Hello, would you be interested in our new product? [/i]Yes. [i]That's great! Now, what state do you live in? [/i]Yes. [i]Yes, I know. But what state? [/i]Yes. And happiness ensues.

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 We get those all the time. We just pick up hang up at dad's. Mom got rid of the home phones. On my cellphone I get annoying texts. Just today I was in the middle of Latin class it went off. I had forgot to turn it off. >.> The good news thoug was that we were doing a partner project so I was sitting next to my friend in the corner farthest away from the teacher and that I had my phone set on low. I turned it off when the teacher wasn't looking. If the teacher wasn't talking my friend would be laughing like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
