I got a call from the "Medicare Department." He was thickly accented and I made him repeat that "department" a couple of times. There isn't any such thing. I asked "what is this about?" It is benefits from Medicare that I'm going to get.
I interrupted him and said I wasn't interested and don't call again. He says "F*ck you" as plain as day. I said what? He then hangs up.
He stole my line!
The curse was well pronounced.

When he said "Medicare benefits", I screamed at him and said "You are a crook and you should just go and die."
Damn, but I'm tired of that.
I'm sure I'll be able to land a good new warranty on my 1990 Volvo though.

(16,925 posts)when you're WAITING for a call - an appointment, a return call, etc. - and you just don't recognize the caller, but you don't DARE miss the call you've been waiting for for about 3 to 5 hours!
DAMN THEM TO HELL!!!!
I hate that. I just hold the phone and wait to see if anyone starts talking to see if I recognize them. Usually they just hang up, then I google the number on my computer. I have decided that I will just start laughing hysterically until they hang up from now on, no words, just cackling.

(2,343 posts)I feigned being quite concerned about the jail time hewas threatening When he told me he had a pen ready to take down my info, I said "Good. Now take it and shove it up your..." Quite out of character for me, I must admit. He told me "F*** you! Go 9/11!" At which point, my unconscious bias welled up verbally in a very ugly way that I won't share. These people are pure evil.
