I like to phukk with them.
I keep them on the phone as long as I can, wasting THEIR time by asking a bunch of stupid questions.
When the "Windows" guy calls, I always repeat the code he tells me to type in, but I always replace one of the numbers or letters.
For example . . .
Let's say he tells me to type in
A684VT.
I will repeat back to him, "Okay, that's
8684VT, correct ?
No sir, That's
A684VT.
OH, okay. That's
A 684V
3.
NO SIR, That A684V
T !
I'm sorry, but I must have a bad connection. Let me get this right. It's A684
ET ?
I keep on substituting similar sounding letters and #'s and listen to his frustration level grow until he finally gives up and hangs up the phone. I have nothing better to do with MY time (I'm retired), but HIS time is $$$ to him.
I have different scenarios for different callers.
The "Credit Card Debt Relief" people, the "You have won an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii" people, etc.
Now, I'll be honest . . . A lot of the time, I just don't pick up the phone if the caller ID is unfamiliar, but when I'm in the mood, these callers get to deal with MY bullschitt.
