I would. What's your point? We all have priorities. I like dogs way more than people. There once was a picture of a child cancer ward where everyone had video game life bars over their heads. All the nurses were in the green, while the kids with cancer were all in the red. It was probably the hardest I ever laughed in my life. I tried to explain the hilarity of it to coworkers one day, and they were much more horrified by my sense of humor than usual. Only one chick came up to me after I dried my tears of laughtet and told me to find the picture. Everyone else, not so much.

Your state doesnt have a no call list you can list your number on?

They do. It just doesn't work. I've tried to block 100's of numbers, but then I get the same bullshit calls from an alternate number. If I ever track down the morons that are offering free estimation on new roofing or replacing my windows, I will find them and have half a dozen Molotovs and blades for happy fun time while burning them to the ground.

Just tell them you already had them out for a estimate and the salesman was a dickhead that you had to kick out and you wouldnt reccomend them putting windows in a bums bix for free.

Do you not have a an account preferences online with your provider? I can't access it at the moment but I'm pretty sure I can block numbers on there. It's so I can still see which missed calls or voicemails I have if I'm away.

When they call you have to specifically state that you would want them to take your number off their list (This is how it works in Ontario Canada, unsure about where you are but worth a shot)

By law they must remove your number, but you must say it like that
Just saying stop calling will never remove your number from their list

If it's debt collectors, you're American, you don't need to pay shit but they will keep calling and have the right to do so


I used to do collections when I was younger

My mother would never be able to work her way around WhatsApp of Skype and it only costs me $10 a month for unlimited free calls back to the UK on the landline. I couldn't do without one really and I do get a kick out of winding up the Indian call centre guys when they phone to tell me about my broken Windows computer sometimes.

Why do you still have a landline?

And people make fun of me for being old...
I've got unlimited data on my Morse code and free nights and weekends on my smoke signals!

I get telemarketers all the time. It’s always 3 different types, sports gambling, credit card security, and health care. I always tell them to take my number off their list, but they just hang up, and I always block their number, but they always call back with different numbers. It is infuriating.

I usually get people offering free estimates on window replacement or roof repair. I've literally threatened to find them, and burn their building to the ground. I usually add that i hope when i do its bring your child to work day. Surprised i haven't been arrested for some of the things I've said to tell them to fuck themselves.
