Robocalls
I love to fuck with the robocalls that use voice recognition.
"Hi, this is Frank from Security Services, how are you today?"
"Apples"
"<pause> ...Well, we're calling about extended warranties for the appliances in your house. Are you the homeowner?"
"Twenty-three"
"<pause> ...Are you the homeowner?"
"Puppies"
"<pause> ...Could I speak to the homeowner?"
"July"
"<pause> ...<click>"
The wife usually tells me to hang up after the first 5 seconds, but I get a perverse pleasure in thinking that my random utterances might be causing some small issues within their system. If nothing else, it gives me hope that I'm one tiny step closer to being blacklisted.
And don't get me started on the live suckers that call me from "online pharmacies".
Good times, good times.
