"Do not call register."

[Grunthos]

Are you pissed off and fed up with, "Felicity" (who sounds more like Fatima) trying to sell you an upgrade to your government solar rebate or "Jack" (who sounds more like Jamal) from Microsoft security warning you that your computer has been hacked and he needs access to your system to save you, phoning all day and night...?
Then log on to the Australian Government-approved "Do not call register" at https://www.donotcall.gov.au/ and get a little peace and quiet.

Or,
A FOOLPROOF WAY OF GETTING RID OF DOOR-TO-DOOR SALESMEN AND PHONE CANVASSERS.
When the above pest turns up at the door or on the phone simply say,
"Look mate, I had Cup-O-Soup for dinner last night and it wasn't because I like the taste!"

I had a similar problem when I was working night shift.

Door to door salespeople, religous doorknockers The Inlaws.

Turning up in the middle of the day while I was trying to sleep.
Started answering the door butt naked.
Amazingly they all stopped. Even the in laws got the message.
Must admit I was hoping the mother inlaw might stay a bit longer though.

I usually do the, "oh no. I don't own this house. I'm actually squatting illegally"

I did that to Mormons once. Didn't phase them one bit.

My favourite one though was a salesman in the shops. Started with, "not interested", but he kept following me. I kept interrupting him saying that I had to go because the dead body in my trunk was starting to smell. He didn't care. Kept going with his pitch.

I had a door knocker arrive years and years ago, I was in the middle of an intense PvP game on destiny. We saw each other but I closed the blinds and ignored her haha

Tip for mormans draw a red pentagram on chest nude up grab an axe when open the door tell them to come in and say " God wants me to send you to him today "

The do not call register doesn’t work anymore but no one can get near my front door and my phone doesn’t even ring if I don’t have someone’s number saved. Apparently the annoying calls have increased a lot since we have been using “safe” QR codes

I always thought you were weird. Now, I don't need to think it.

It's true, and I never trust the normals or the no tails...

However, the no-call register cuts down on most of thoes painful sales calls.

That DNC register is over 15 years old. Anyone who wants to be a part of it will already be a part of it.

 

[Grunthos]

Yes true, but there are many who don't even know it exists.

At home and bored, got a scam caller and kept him on the phone for 45 mins. He went through his proforma of questions and I answered them and followed his instructions until finally got to my PC's code number:
Scammer - "What is your PC's code number"
Me - "G. E. T. F. U. C. K. E. D."
Scammer - "No there must be some numbers, what is the number"
Me - "No, there's just these letters G. E. T. F. U. C. K. E. D"
Scammer - ".......बकवास बकवास योनी"
Me - "LMFAO"
Scammer - "आप माँ फूहड़"
