    So much win.

    In all seriousness though, I've gotten more than my fair share of these. Pretty much, it's at the point where if I don't know your number, or you don't leave a message, I'm not picking up. So far it's been working fine, and there is just that little bit extra of less stress in my life.

    This is pretty much what I do. If I don't know the number I just silence and ignore. If they done leave a message or follow up with a txt I assume they don't know me and forget it. I have a house number that has no voice mail. I only give this out for things I need to provide a number but don't really want to talk to. Anyone else gets my cell. No one ever gets my work number unless it's a customer or work contact. I made that mistake before...

    If it's a local #, I run it through 800notes first. Out of state? Out of LUCK - you're blocked, and I DON'T care. Drop me a postcard.

    For the neighbor spoofing I get if I have time, I call them back. I tell the # owner that their phone number has been hijacked and is being used for scamming. I suggest they call their phone service and report. I had a call last week from a spoofed cell# that was a microsoft support tech needing to get into one of my pcs to check for malware.

    I have minions who work for me in foreign countries. Theoretically, I could email them a script, and have them spend a shift making Skype calls back to that annoying phone number. And listen as they scream at each other in their native tongues.

    Of course, I'd never do such a thing, it would be just plain wrong.






    Hilarious and highly entertaining, but wrong.

    I never answer unless it is someone I know or I'm expecting a call although once I had one call from a friend's number.

    That was odd.

    I'll trade a dozen minions for one of your 1911's! I'll even throw in some draft picks, to sweet the deal.

    I need to send you some pics, by the way. I snagged an old Austin Behlert 1911 yesterday, and figured you would enjoy looking at it.
