50% of these took place several hours after they hung up and thought: "Yeah! That's what I should have said!" The other 50% we're just made up as they typed the comment
Used to get lots of telephone calls about changing carriers. "I don't have a phone." Dunno if it worked or not. I'd hang up after that. - Oh. Car warranty? Tell them I drive an '88 Corolla.
back in 2000 i listed my phone under the fictional name QV Johnson the QV standing for "Queen Victoria" so if someone called looking for QV Johnson i knew it was a BS call (got that idea from my boss at the time, thanks Barnett:)) so i get a call one weekend and the conversation goes like his
Telemarketer :can i speak to QV Johnson? Me: Whats the Q stand for? Telemarketer: what? Me: whats the Q stand for? Telemarketer: Ahhh? Me: when you figure out what the "Q" stands for i'll talk to you
and i hang up about a year goes by and i get a call that goes like this
Telemarketer: Hey is Q there? Me: whats the Q stand for? Telemarketer: oh man it's you! (i know its the same guy who called before) Me: did you figure out the Q stands for? Telemarketer: No, can you give me a hint? Me: nope, the deal was if you figure out what the Q stands for i'll talk to you
he starts throwing out names that start with Q (of which there aren't many)
i laugh and tell him to keep trying and i hang up never heard back from him and now that my phone displays who's calling and from where, i don't have to because i don't know anyone in the states that they are calling from.
Barnett told me that you have to pay to get an unlisted number but you can have anyone's name on the bill so if someone calls looking for that person you just hang up
