Touchdown! Greaser!
So today in the middle of the busy day I answer the house line which I have piped in to work. (it's been very handy for other reasons, so I need to be able to answer there)
and a telemarketer robot comes on so I press zero in the (perhaps vain) hope that telling a real person to take me off their list will reduce these calls and a guy comes on with his initial spiel. I say, "Please take me off your list and don't call me back on this line" and hang up.
He calls right back and says very politely in an Indian or Pakistani accent, "Please suck my ____ (4 letters starting with c; part of male anatomy)". I didn't hear him the first time so he repeated it for me, so I could be sure there was no misunderstanding. You know, I would love to think there could be some type of retribution for such people - FTC or whatever but I fear there is little anyone can do. I have signed on for all the do not call lists. The caller ID says a local exchange, my exchange (in a town of 1000) so I have a reasonable chance of talking to someone I need to.
(Doubly annoying that a phone number can be spoofed so easily but when I asked AT&T to spoof my outgoing calls to clients as my main number (vs the private line I call them back on) they were clueless)
