Petty things that you find annoying.

When you have been a Paid member of Something for many years. Due to address changes your membership renewal doesn't arrive. As such, renewal date expires. When you realize you contact to renew your membership and are told... sorry, it expired, you will have to reapply as a new member and pay a Joining Fee. WTF? Double wammy, as a new member no discounts for your previous years. Full price for you. 2x wtf. How about keeping a customer? Grrr.

Sounds like RACQ?

Give that man a cigar

Kept getting calls for "Services for the Blind". Sending a truck in my area to pick up donations. (guess where this is going?)

Finally got them to stop calling. Something like this:

Don't you SEE what I am saying? Stop calling be. What are you, f*8cking blind or something? Open up your EYES and SEE what I am saying: Stop calling me. I will never donate to you. Why does a f**king blind person expect a free ride anyway? Get dark glasses, a cup and a cane and stand on a corner."

They never called back.

Sometimes you really have to be so bitching nasty to get them to stop.

"Sorry, we'll take you off ouir list"
"I should never be on your list. This number is on the Federal Do-Not-Call list"
"Oh, we don't use that list"


Some scamming telemarketers rotate their numbers so if you block the number, they get in again in another week or two when they rotate numbers.

Many have fake caller ID's. that should be prohibited by the phone companies. You should not be able to inject your own caller ID.

Current one coming in again here is "Air Duct Cleaning for $29.95". Once in a while I answer.
Company name: they guive a fake one
If we get disconnected, how do I call you back? a big old CLICK

Next time I will lead them on even to the point of giving a fake address.


Oh, these are on a land line which I never use and not in my name.

Sure, tell me all about it....

Gentle place the phone down and walk away.

No caller ID, no answer from me cause why you trying to hide.
Flip side, I don't recognize the number, no answer cause I mustn't know you.

Leave me a voice mail if I don't answer. I'll consider calling you back. Cause, why drop everything I am doing to answer the phone because said other person decides they want to chit chat right now. I've got things to do. not time for chit chat. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Is that why you dont answer your phone when I ring? Or is it because you know its me?
