Title: Wierdo Caller
Post by: Nepix on July 05, 2007, 08:29:06 AM
So last night at 2 am my phone was ringing... I always leave my phone on, but never get calls this late. I looked at the number on caller id and it was (888)888-8888 wtf? i picked up and they hung up.

then i went to sleep got the same call but didnt answer, 3 more times that night. no messages nothing...

my cell phone is registered on the do not call list, anyone else get a phone call from that number?

pretty normal spoofing from tele-marketers or whatnot... if the phone number has all the same digits I never answer.

I had this alot and my phone was on speaker fone.I left it on and laid it down.Once a telemarketer picked up over a minute later.Another time a recording started and wanted me to hold for the next availible represenative.When a woman telemarketer calls,I ask her if I can ask her 1 personal question,before she ask me alot of questions.Some hang up,some say yes.I then ask what color panties she is wearing,or I ask her if she'll send me her panties she's wearing.99.9% hang up rate.The other .1% is a looooooong story.I just tell the guys they called while I was getting it on with my lady.Str8 guys apologize and hang up.ghey guys say yuck and hang up.  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

 :dunno_white: I usually keep a soundboard from full metal jacket handy, that normally keeps things intresting when they dont hang up. If they call my cell though, I dont even bother answering... I know everyone that SHOULD be calling me, and if you aint that person, and I dont have anything for sell at the time, well! better call the house.

thats not as bad as one night while i was at a party some dude called me and said i gave him my number in a gas station. i told him he had the wrong number then he kept asking where i was. after i told him i was at a party in lee he said he would come down and meet up. i was like okay dude, sure. then he called me back two more times asking how to get to the party. i think if he actually tried to find it, he ended up in new york somewhere hahaha.

and oh yeah, ive never given anyone my number at a gas station, especially not any dudes that wanna try to find me at a party at 1:30 in the morning haha.

There's this setting called 'meeting'. Just one ding and then it's silent.

It's the standard setting for anyone in our home. YES, I'm a jerk and ask everyone to do the same because I really don't want my son awakened by some useless drivel.

888-888-888-888 is the International Library Book Police, you must have something overdue, return it asap or they will send out an assasin to kill you.

Alternatley, of course, it's some prat in a call centre.
