Not to criticize, but you just HAD to know that would happen.

What I hate is the people with a heavy accent that call you to sell you something, or to say “somebody in this house may have a serious court matter”.

Or as happened to me a few weeks ago, some Hindu guy that asked for “Chesley”. Well that's me so I said, “you got him”.

Well, the next thing I know, he's dunning me for some bill, and as I knew nothing about such a bill, it got prretty acrimonious pretty fast. I hung up on him.

Danged if he didn't call back, telling me not to hang up or it would go to court.

OK, after a half-hour of my precious life span was wasted with the jerk, I figured out what the problem was. He had asked for “Shirley”, and I heard it as “Chesley”, and I couldn't convince him that we didn't owe any money.

I finally got rid of him, I thought, but since then I've received two other calls from people wanting to speak to “Shirley”.

I don't know who she is, or where she is, but I hope she gets away with not paying these buzzards.

I did. I had a 4 hour layover so I figured I would poke a stick into the anthill to watch them all run around. And I was truly ticked off that it was somehow MY problem this guy couldn’t speak HIS native tongue (he said he was born here BTW).

Just as an FYI, FWIIW, IMHO (AS): The only proper way to end that conversation is with the words “see you in court” followed by the *click* of your phone hanging up.

But I appreciate what you went through. It is like getting mileage rewards from Peggy sometimes.

I hate this crap I had a guy aggravate the crap out of me over a Lady I knew 25 or 30 years ago, Trying to locate her I told him well I have located were you are and I am getting in my car with my baseball bat and I am coming to see you they never called again. Oh and they even called a neighbor of mine asked him to come ask me why I would not answer their calls ,that did it for me if they had not stopped I would have paid them a visit LOL.
