Cancer Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Enough of our friends block their outgoing ID, and enough marketers either block or fake theirs, that they get us anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austenandrews Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures I just changed my cell number, because I was constantly harrassed by debt collectors going after someone who had the number before me. Which means now I get calls asking for a different person. I hope it's a net gain, statistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means now I get calls asking for a different person. I hope it's a net gain, statistically.[/quote'] We've gotten calls from debt collectors going after my wife's ex-husband -- and they were divorced nearly 25 years ago. After the third time we explaining the situation, I told them that (1) my number is on the Do Not Call registry, (2) nobody in our house has EVER been a customer of them or their client, and (3) they should make a note of this and cease calling us or I would report and sue them if they called me again. They stopped calling. And y'know, it could be worse. Our home number was once a company's fax number. Even though it's been a private home number for over 5 years, we still get calls at 2 am with that warbling fax tone, and you can't even tell them to take a flying leap because there's nobody there to hear you scream. However, since this is the Neat Pictures thread, I should probably post a picture just to get us pack on track.

Sociotard Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures I used to have a fellow math tutor who was once an engineer, back in the old days. The fastest way to get the old man ranting was to show off a high-density flash card. He'd go on and on about hard they had to work to use the tiniest amount of space possible. Naturally, we provoked him all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
