A Message on My Answering Machine

[stoutfellow]

"We've been trying to reach you concerning the warranty on your vehicle..."

Yes you have. Repeatedly. Over a period of months. Using a variety of phrasings and voices. I have heard them all.

I have not responded to any of them. Does my silence not constitute a message in itself?

There is no warranty.

There is no vehicle.

There is no interest in your services.

Leave. Me. The hell. Alone.

Aren't you on the Do Not Call List? If you don't do business with them, then their calls are illegal.

No, I'm not. (There you go, spoiling a perfectly good rant.)

I don't much mind solicitors, in general. I've got Caller ID, so I can screen. These people, though... I've gotten at least three "Final Courtesy Warnings" from them, after which the cycle begins again.

I should probably sign up for the list. (Do the words "World-Class Procrastinator" ring any bells?)

They should--I've got them tattoed across my chest.

Do. Your life will be much saner.

I have a car, and I don't get those calls [g].
