I’ve got a fine answering machine on my telephone, but I seldom get calls worth answering.
For instance I mostly get "monkey phone calls" from recruiter salestards, calling on behalf of temporary staffing agencies. I’ve sent resumes to such agencies in the past, but none in over a year, and certainly none to the people who call. I can only assume the other agencies have sold my resume as part of a "sucker list" to these agencies. I just don’t call them back.
For nearly a year, I’d get a call every two weeks from an equipment rental company, apparently thinking I was the construction company that rented bulldozers from them. Once, the caller was in a foul mood, and stated that I was three months behind in the rental payments, and that he’d left many messages on my machine, but I didn’t "even have the courtesy to call him back once!" He then said I’d better call him and make some payment arrangements or he’d turn the matter over to a collection agent.
I should have called him back, pretending to be the gay lover of the construction company guy, and say he just died from AIDS complications. I’d say I was very distraught, and the rental company needs to come out and pick up all their bulldozers because I certainly wasn’t going to pay. But I didn’t think I’d be believed, so I didn’t. Eventually, the rental company quit calling.
But in February 2006, I got my chance. I was deleting some monkey phone calls from my answering machine, when I heard a message from a doctor’s office, reminding Mrs’ Quivers to come to her doctor’s appointment four days later. The nurse left a number to call back in case Mrs. Quivers couldn’t make it. Why do doctors do that? Are people so dumb they’ll forget to come to the doctor? I wrote down the number, Mrs. Quivers name, and headed to a public phone in the mall.
I got my prepaid phone card, dialed a bunch of digits, and got the same nurse who left the message on my machine.
Nurse: Doctor Timko’s office!
H-Dogg: Hello, I’m calling about Mrs. Quivers appointment on Friday.
Nurse: (brief pause) Yes, her appointment is at 3:30 on Friday.
H-Dogg: Yeah, I need to cancel it.
Nurse: Who am I speaking to?
H-Dogg: I’m Robin Quivers, her son. I need to cancel her appointment.
Nurse: Why would you want to do that?
H-Dogg: She passed away last night.
Nurse: (pause for 10 seconds) Oh..., oh my... what-what-what...
H-Dogg: (interrupting) She died in her sleep; she was sick for a while, but it was just... s-s-so sudden...
Nurse: (stammering) I’m sorry to hear that...
H-Dogg: This is a really bad time; I’m going to go now.
Nurse: (speaking softly) All right, my condolences.
(hang up)
On Friday afternoon, Mrs. Quivers apparently showed up for her appointment. I can only imagine the chaos in that office. Most doctors double-book their appointments just in case someone doesn’t show up. Then the nurse called me back, and left a message. She called me a "sick son of a bitch" and a "demented asshole" for making up the story of Mrs. Quivers death, and I need to ask for the Lord’s forgiveness. And I should never call them again.
Next time I do this, hopefully my filelocker will work, and I’ll post the recorded message. |

 | Mar 11, 2006 9:09 pm - if u used a public phone, how did she call u back?? |

 | Mar 11, 2006 9:58 pm - I used the public phone and a prepaid calling card to call them to make it impossible to prove I called them, in case any legal bullshit came of it.
They called me the first time as a wrong number. The second time they called to insult me after the real Mrs. Quivers showed up at the office, they presumably realized they had wrote down her number incorrectly. But they had to call the "wrong" number again to tell me Jesus didn’t like what I did. |

 | Mar 11, 2006 10:18 pm - lmao this is 5* and Favs, i used to do this to telemarketers but those bastards just hang up and there aint no fun in it |

 | Mar 12, 2006 6:26 am - rofl h-dogg u never get old |

 | Mar 12, 2006 10:01 am - 5* sounds like alot of fun :) |

 | Mar 12, 2006 10:49 am - 5... gives me an interesting idea. Ud have to change it a little to make it believable but basically tell them there was a warrant for her arrest because apparently the last two doctors offices she had went to, they found the doctor dead with a scalpal in the chest shortly after her leaving, and should she arrive there it is imperative that the police be immidiately called |

 | Mar 12, 2006 11:43 am - Tell them you’re a narcotics officer, and you have reason to believe that person is selling their pre5cription narcotic pain medications on the street. |

 | Mar 12, 2006 12:14 pm - 5* for H-Dogg |

 | Mar 12, 2006 1:10 pm - funny 4stars |
| Mar 13, 2006 8:45 am - In my egg "reverse prank call" there’s a part about calls me and my roommates used to get for a company that ran, er, blood tests for among other things HIV. So people would be calling in for their lab results and dial us by mistake. They would be all nervous and shit, haha!
And you are demented, you know... |

 | Mar 13, 2006 8:45 pm - you bastard.
i like it. |

 | Mar 14, 2006 11:02 pm - 0*
