OK, then:
Come with me, my love
To the sea
The sea of love
– Neil Diamond
That was by Phil Phillips.
The call I get tells me that my car warranty is about to expire. I haven’t had a car titled in my name since 1991. She always hangs up when I ask her what she is wearing.
WestJet autocalls for a few months:
‘Since you are a preferred customer, blah blah blah… Press 1 now for our EXCITING OFFER!!!’
Started becoming more and more frequent, almost daily. So I pressed 1.
Was connected to representative who asked if I’m over 18, and began a lightning-fast, seamless shpeil about their EXCITING OFFER FOR SUCH A VALUED CUSTOMER.
I waited untill they took a breath, and crowbarred in:
‘Hi, listen, I am sure you are a wonderful person, just like myself, just trying to earn a fair day’s pay and go home to your family, just like me. Although I must interrupt you to point out the fact I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A PLANE IN MY LIFE. (Total bs, but it’s been about two decades, and certainly not WestJet.)
I am terrified of getting on a plane, and doubt I ever will in my life. Now, I am sorry to interrupt you so rudely, but I do not want to waste any of your time, as I will not be taking advantage of your kind offer. Nothing personal towards you, as you sound like a wonderful person, and somebody I would love to hang out with, but may I ask that you put me on your do not call list, as I will never be boarding a plane in my life, and I just want to concentrate on my work, and earn MY paycheck for MY family. Again, nothing personal, but I do not want to waste your, your co-workers, or your company’s time.’
Annoyed sigh, followed by an apathetic ‘we will see what we can do, sir.’
No more westjet, no more cruise offers, basically ALL the robocalls stopped. Been about a year and a half now, and I was getting them almost daily.
Nada, none, zilch.
Good luck, dopers!
Got the headset robot again today. Not as amusing when received several times.
How do robocallers react to lewd suggestions?
I once said “fuck” trying to get through an automated menu, and it responded, “If you would like to leave this call, please hang up.”
Hee. My father sometimes asks for “Fox” on his infinity remote and it will say “I don’t respond to that kind of language”.
