Stupid Robocalls are out of control

I don't get robocalls but I get a few 20 person group texts a day. And the boomers all text "STOP" to make it even worse.

Should’ve told that robot to shut the hell up. Show those bastards they won’t take over the world that easily.

I have not had any in about a week.

married, eh?

Robocalls should be illegal.

I have to answer calls at work. I love it when they start off saying "Please don't hang up". CLICK

I stopped answering the phone about 10 years ago- unless the name on the ID is someone I know.

Best decision ever.

I tell him the more you answer, the more they're gonna call you. Unless it's a number saved in your contacts, don't answer. He never learns though.

This actually isn't true. If the phone rings at all, that confirms that it's a valid number.

I had an old flip phone I never answered, and it never stopped getting calls from random numbers.

Only way to get back at them is to answer, pretend to be interested, and waste as much of their time as possible. It's more satisfying because you get revenge, and it's more effective because it costs them time and opportunity so it hurts their bottom line.

I used to get them too and once I stopped answering them, I don't ever really get them. If I do it's just once in a blue moon. Guess it may be coincidence.

I like to answer the extended car warranty ones and wait till the live sales person gets on after the recorded bullshite intro. Then I get them talking and tell them I drive a '69 Camaro SS and ask how much the extended warranty is on that. It's hilarious listening to them fumbling around trying to figure out what to do with that. Then I start telling them about my collection of Playboys back when women had a full eagle's nest in the lower mezzanine and ask if the collection is insurable. By this point, Rachel hangs up.

I get so many sales calls and fake group texts every day that I don’t even look at my phone anymore unless I want to make a call or send a text. My son and husband have their own ring and text tones and I ignore everything else.
