Do you listen to the first line of their spiel?

Hang up right away?

I usually tell them I just left.

Ignore and block.

Not interested, take me off your calling list.

If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer. If it is important and legit, they will leave a message and I will call them back

"What the frick did you just fricking say to me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fricking words. You think you can get away with saying that shite to me over the phone? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your number is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fricking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable arse off the face of the continent, you little shite. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” call was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fricking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shite fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fricking dead, kiddo."

I get a lot of scam calls that are the recorded kind. I recently set up this app to block all calls from numbers that have been reported as being associated with these scams.

I was starting to get a lot of those scam calls for a little while there. It makes me nervous about how they got my phone number. Maybe it was just random.

If the opportunity is there I will flatulate into the handset and hang up. Otherwise I quietly stuff the handset under a pillow in the couch and return to get it hours later.

I ask them how much they know about my Lord & Master Satan and if they'd like to learn more.

You realize that you are blowing arse all over something that you hold up to your own face?
