Well so far this morning...

HurricaneHeather · 05-04-2009, 09:55 AM

I now have 7 missed calls on my work phone from the same #. I didn't answer the first 3 calls because I wasn't at my desk or I was too busy.

So, I check my voicemail and they hung up every time.

Then they called back 4 more times.

No voicemail.

If it is important enough for you to call me 7 times within a 45 minute time frame then why is it not important enough for you to leave me a voicemail so I know who you are? And get this: If you left a voicemail I would call you back!

But now I am just not going to answer to be a bitch.

Oh, Mondays how I loathe thee.

Wait for the person at that number to call again....let it ring...pick up....and as soon as they start talking, hang up. Put the aggravation back on him/her/it.

That's what I was going to say... just make sure you hang up mid-word.

I have done that before...that just lets them know I am here and then they start calling wildly after that!

It's been 40 minutes since the last call....maybe they called someone else.

So you are just going to let them call 30 times throughout the day. Sounds fucking intelligent.

Forward their number to a fax machine...

Change your voice mail to say you are someone else.

CrazyKell · 05-04-2009, 10:48 AM

Is this work or personal?

If it's work I'd say no matter how much you'd like to do that it's not exactly professional.

If it's personal, well I don't think it is because you probably don't have any douche's like that in your personal life.

Seriously?

Professional or not, they're they one calling then hanging up. Then calling again and hanging up. OH - then calling again and hanging up.

When someone does that to me, I assume they are just trying to SPAM me.
