Oh Noes!

I just got a phone call telling me my windows license has expired and to call back to renew. What ever shall I do?

OOOOOH you better make that call immediately. Make sure you have your credit card handy.

I had a call yesterday from 'Sky Expert Services' asking me to confirm whether I was recently involved in a car accident. I told the person on the other end never to call my number again or I'd report them to the authorities. I'm clearly way off base here.

Sometimes I like to see how long I can string such callers along by leaving silences and only saying "Yes" when the person asks me if I'm still there. Drives them completely nuts.

I learned not to answer calls from my phone's area code. I don't get robocalls from where I actually live.

You might ask if you can pay the license renewal with food stamps.

And just like that, the thread is ruined.

My brother gets a lot of calls from these scammers. They are based in India. My brother likes to discuss the lack of toilets in many parts of India.

Is anybody really surprised that nearly half of India's 1.2 billion people have no toilet at home?
Not really. The India Human Development report has been saying this for a while. The situation is worse in the villages, where two-thirds of the homes don't have toilets. Open defecation is rife, and remains a major impediment in achieving millennium development goals which include reducing by half the proportion of people without access to basic sanitation by 2015.

Fireworks usually ensue but the stupid bastards still keep calling him. "No, we run ToiletOS Linux here!"

Its good to throw up something random. "Can I ask you, who chose these curtains? I don't even own a window. I blame the lemon guilders in the South of France" They'll make some silly aheming noise and put on a false laugh and then they're back on to the script within seconds. "I can't talk now, I have custard on the go"
