How not to have Scotto kill you with repeated blows to the head by a blunt object -

Do not call, letting it ring until voice mail picks up, then hang up, and call again (repeat until Scotto is in a deep lather, from trying to think, and ignoring the phone) and then give pointless information that could've been left of voicemail in the first place.

To save lives, I have programmed a macro into my phone. The same line has to wait at least 10 seconds before reconnecting, else they get dropped straight to voice mail. Also, I now have a workable 'do not disturb' button that drops folks straight into voicemail.

Oh I HATE when people do that!!!! And here's one that happens a lot where I work that drives me absolutely nuts: our cell phones have caller ID on them, as well as voice mail. There are some people who will call, let it ring, then hang up, purposefully not leaving a voice mail message. So I figure, oh, guess it can wait, they didn't leave a message, and I forget about it. Then 3 hours later, the phone rings, it's the same person as before, and I answer it.

Me: Hi X how are you?
X: Why didn't you call me back?
Me: Huh? Did I miss a voice mail?
X: No, but didn't you see that I called?

What the!!?? ARGH!

Ok I'm done, thanks for the vent. :-)

How did you do that??? That's cool!

I have this new thing..."Call Intercept." It "intercepts" calls that are out of area or unavailable and makes them record their name. Then i get a funky ring and hear their name. I can accpet it, deny it, send it right to v/mail, or have it tell them i don't accept calls from telemarketers! hehe
