"But I didn't get a bill." "You tell me what it says. Can you spell it out, my hearing is not so good?" "State full first name." "Bob Saget is what my friends call me. You're my friend aren't ya? Just call me Bob."

10 minutes in he's starting to get pissed.
He didn't even hang up when I called him a CS twice and wanted to whip his hiney behind the saddle shed just like the good old days. lol

15 minutes in and I'm still insulting him in character.
My game. My rules. Never gave an inch. He finally gets pissed uses my deceased father's middle name and hangs up.


You get taken off the lists when it starts costing them time and money.
I get this call often. Funny, since I don't buy anything from amazon.
