you know, offering some alternatives would undoubtedly greatly expedite the death of “asshat” as a phrase.
as you did not offer any, allow me:
shitlips: you fucking ignorant shitlips - you can smile and make nice all you want, but you know what? you might say it’s chocolate pudding, but it smells like shit to me.
colonic fez: if you werent such a greasily colonic fez, you would have read the directions properly the first time!
**
donkey thong**: nice going, donkey thong, now we’re late AND we smell like turned cheese.
smegmodic turd: if i had known you were suck a fucking smegmodic turd with absolutely no concept of personal hygiene and lacking the good sense god gave a pile of dirt, i would never have moved in in the first place.
dicktick: and you cant even FIND your penis because it blends so well into your crab infested thatch of stuff that looks like you pulled it out of the shower drain - last time you tried jerking off you missed your dick and pleasured a handful of pubic lice, and you’re such a fucking enemetic dicktick you didnt even know the difference.
i apologize for the lack of feeling - i’m not feeling the hate right now, but i am feeling helpful, which is why i offered up this list. none of these have quite the panache as “asshat,” but with time they could become part of your regularly scheduled pittings.
your welcome in advance,
love
yams!!
There are a few folks I know who occasionally have to use phones in places which automatically mask their number. I find it at least as useful, if I am not busy, to just answer, and hang up if it isn’t someone calling from jail to get me post bail for them. I have never had any difficulty in hanging up, in the middle of a sentence from someone I don’t already know, if they decided I wanted to hear their line of bullshit.
Of course, I don’t get a dozen calls a month, so what the heck.
I have a very simple system. The only reason I have a landline is for the DSL, the satellite dish, and the occasional local call. Thus, I have turned the ringer off. If you want to talk to me, you’d better call my cell phone. And I don’t answer that unless I know who it is that is calling, which pretty much means you’re already in my address book.
What the hell is up with the people who have the service on the phone that makes you, the caller, identify yourself verbally, then patches through the call. There’s like a 3 minute speech on why and how to identify yourself, then another 30-60sec to transfer that info, then more time waiting for them to answer. It’s fucking stupid and I hate it. I do not need to be run through 4 minute waits to see if you are even going to answer your phone.
GROW A PAIR AND ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE. LEARN HOW TO HANG UP ON PEOPLE.
And get rid of the idiotic 3 minute voice mail speech. No one cares, really.
(Yes, I spend about 4,000-5,000 minutes every month on the phone, why do you ask?)
ETA- Didn’t realize I was in the pit—
I hate all you self important fuckers and your passive aggressive phone issues.
I have only ever known this service to work on incoming calls with blocked or unavailable ID.
Does this happen when you call your acquaintances, or are these unsolicited business calls?
I don’t know if you’re a telemarketer, but if you are, why would I “learn how” to waste 30 seconds of my time picking up and hanging up on you in order to save you 3-4 minutes of work which you’re being paid for?
I’m with the folks here who say they never answer the phone unless they know who it is. But the OP is Pitting something even worse than that-- someone who purposely blocks the phone number so you won’t know who it is. That’s beyond stupid, and getting into stalker/scary territory.
And yeah, if I do know you, and you don’t block your number, don’t expect a returned phone call if you don’t leave a message. How hard is it say “please call me back when you can”.
