The criminally insane are kind of fun. Other than that, I like your list. [Reply]

They come back with a well according to my list you did so they get hung up on.
Hanging up on them doesn't work. They call back. Please take me off your list doesn't work. They call back. I will report you to the BBB doesn't work. They call back. Ignoring the call and letting it ring when i recognize the # on caller id doesn't work. they call back. Then they change their # to 000-000-000. WTF? Like i won't remember that.
A week ago my response was if you ever call back i will remove your head and hang it on my wall and tonight they call back.
I wish i could some how hook up a laser beam that would zap them in their ears through their headset every time they try and dial my number. :-)
pick up the phone and hold one of the buttons. After awhile they'll get the hint. Do it over and over again. They'll make a note on your account. [Reply]
If you call a fucking phone and it goes straight to voicemail, it's a pretty good indication that the person is already on a call.
By all means, hang up immediately and call back repeatedly! You can bet your ass that when the person DOES get finished with the call you beeped all over, they're going to be in a mood to help you with your urgent issue. (Especially when you're the jackass who caused Bob Dole to come in on his day off last week, and you showed up 7 hours late.) [Reply]

Turning the stereo up and laying the phone directly in front of a speaker works pretty well, too. [Reply]

This reminds me....
People who call back immediately after you start leaving them a message. They don't know who called in order for me to know who to transfer them to, or what it might be about (which also helps me know who the call might belong to). I walk around the office asking if anyone called a so-and-so. More times than not (actually, I can't think of a "not"), the caller had left them a voicemail (stating their name and reason for calling), but the person couldn't wait long enough for the voicemail to come through before calling back and wasting my time.

Is this a land line? I thought those had call block features, but I've never had one... :-)
I use Mr Number on my cell (Android)... you can set it to send certain numbers to voicemail, or my favorite, pickup and hangup. Usually after telling them it's a cell number and I'm not interested anyway, take me off the list, etc; they do... but just the other day Hilton vacations called, and then again yesterday morning.... most of the time the app responds fast enough that my phone doesn't even ring/vibrate. Also had some moron calling once a week or so asking for someone else, even though I've had the number for 10 years... must be frustrating getting the pickup/hangup, since he didn't listen the first 20 times I told him to stop calling.

When approaching a constuction zone, driving a reasonable speed, maybe a few MPHs over the SL (in TEN you get slammed for speeding in a costruction zone) and someone gets in the lane thats about to close just to pass you and cut you off as soon as the pilons are there. Hopefully some day I can accomplish making one of those ****ers run into the pilons, if that ever happens I will LMFAO. I got close the other day, and today if I had seen them coming, I just might have got them.

Oh, don't even get me started on the people who call repeatedly instead of just leaving a fucking voicemail the first time. Sometimes I can't simply drop what I'm doing to dig the phone out of my pocket to take your important call. And if you do this, you can be sure I'm not going to call you back for at least several hours, if not days. [Reply]
I wish there was a phrase for players who played in the Pro Bowl only because they were "injury replacement" players...c'mon, you were what fourth...maybe fifth in line. You're not a "real" Pro Bowl player. [I'm looking at you, Matt.] [Reply]
