The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for June 07, 2021

Must be a passenger car pigeon.

B-but they wanted to contact you before the close the file… for eight months. They’re very generous in not closing your file for so long.

Flip the bird … off the ledge.

“Spameth Risk”

I had that exact recorded message on my phone!!!

I got one of those offers on a car I haven’t had for 9 years.

They call my son all the time and he does not have a car! Also electrical supplier choices call him and he lives in an apartment!

I get about a dozen of those calls a week.

Mostly on my cell, a few on my landline… supposedly from different cities and states…

 

All the same exact recording….

missing the first few syllables, in a chipper, female voice,

“Your last chance before we close the files” … leaving various callback numbers.

 

I don’t want to interact, including pushing “2” to be taken off the list, because I’m told that signals a live response and you’ll get MORE calls.

 

But it’s sooo tempting to ask what sort of warranty they’re chasing me down to offer…

on the 23-year-old second-hand Saturn I’ve been driving for 12 years.

 

She’s so eager… I have to assume she thinks the 147,000 plus miles on the odometer won’t matter.

On the I.D. channel I was watching the commercials when a program broke out!

Who buys an extended warranty on a lease, I try to ask them?

The car? Or the chariot?

I thought after five or six years my opportunity for a warranty would eventually lapse. Luckily not, I ‘m still getting that stupid $#!+. I wonder if it’s a scam? I know the IRS is still threatening to arrest me, even though I send gift cards to their Moscow branch office every couple of months.

Spam bird.

Or to help with paying off my student loans

You too? My cars 17 years old, so get lost!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaah

From Barbarian Motor Works?

One of the most annoyingly repetitive robo-calls i get. Once i listened to entire message hoping that there was an opt-out at the end. There is. Press 1 if you dont want to receive any more messages. I did. I still get the calls.

That’s impressive since cars won’t be invented for another 1000 or so years.

Saw a guy posted that he sold his homing pigeon on ebay. Twenty-two times.

One way to tell if it’s a legitimate caller is to try to argue with them. If you can get them riled up and even swearing, they are not legitimate. On a bad day, it can be a little entertaining. Then hang up and block the number.

At least he’s bundled his ‘Royal Carriage’ and ‘Castle’ insurance. Saved a king’s ransom.

These notices are a royal pain.

YUCK & YUCK again!

AUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH !!!!!!!! Not here too !

Flooded your carburetor in the moat again? If you had an extended warranty no problem!

I answer those calls in an East Indian accent, and ask if they have any job openings because my previous employer was arrested for fraud.

“Invite them over to discuss my warranty options. Prepare the oubliette for their reception.”

I’m not commenting on this one. I don’t want them to know I’m a real person.

I’m thinking about setting up a Captcha on my phone, so they can tell me they are not a robot.

I haven’t driven in over 30 years (bad eyes) and still get these calls. Lots!

I also get the cold calls for construction work around my home. Take out a wall. Put in window treatments. Landscape the backyard. I tell them that I live on the 5th floor of an apartment house. Talk to the landlord.

Sir Spamalots kingdom was soon over run by pigeons.

I’ve gotten 3 of those calls already today.

Based on the setting, it would have been funnier if it was for his carriage’s extended warranty. “Car” makes no sense in this context.

More like “chariot” warranty.

Time to feed that pigeon a big bowl for worms laced with ExLax and sent it back home as a Thank You.

My husband decided to go along with it one time…they couldn’t even tell him which car it was.

They are the most annoying phone calls. The other is student loans. I’m not in college. I hate those calls. It’s all day and everyday.
