I gave somebody hell on the phone today. I got my landline phone number 7 years ago and have been getting collection agency calls ever since - an assortment of agencies. These calls are for the person who previously had the number. Today I unleashed so bad on a guy he was stuttering and fuming.
I had this exact problem when I moved into a new place about 15 years ago. For the first year or so it drove me nuts. Then I decided.... fuckit....why not have fun with it?
So I bought a phone recorder, and decided to start fucking with those guys. I made several recordings, some of them up to 45 minutes long. I would try to keep them on the phone for as long as I could, which was not what these guys are used to.
I would promise to pay some minimum payment or agree to whatever payment plan they were offering. So they'd start filling out whatever paperwork they had. I made them go through everything like I was actually going to pay and at the last minute, I'd ask my wife "honey, how much crack do we have left?" and when she replied that we were almost out, I'd tell the guy.... "sorry, no deal. I didn't realize how low I was on crack".
I would then let them convince me that paying this debt was more important than crack and bla bla bla. I'd pretty much just let them rant on and on and I enjoyed every second of it. If those poor bastards only knew I was just fucking with them for my own personal amusement.
Sadly, all the recordings were lost in a fire about 5 years ago and I never did get around to putting them on mp3.
We had some good times listening to those recordings, though.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the calls soon stopped.
