I’m rude to debt collectors who call me trying to collect debts from people who happen to once have had the same phone number as I once did. Like, I’m not who you’re trying to collect from, fuck off.
I’m also rude to generally any scam caller, they’re some of the few people I take great pleasure in telling off because I can get away with it. They’re scammy assholes, what’re they gonna do? Cry to the authorities? Knowing that they’re pieces of shit who scam people out of money? Good fucking luck.
Call center scammers pretending to be “Microsoft Support” and the like. Especially if they call again after I already told them to F off the first time. The last time one of them called I told them to wait a moment, set the phone next to my speakers and then blasted The Mermaid Sisters - F[$%&]ng Bullsh*t Song at full volume until he hung up.
Super petty and not at all mature, but soooo satisfying.
You know what would be cool? An app that takes over the call and uses chatGPT and text to speech to fuck with them. Just press a button and bam! Theyre going through creepy/gross roleplay with a mindless AI chat bot
Lenny already exists!
Unfortunately they are all both recently. It seems pointless to be rude to a bot.
But how else would I find out that my Windows installation which I haven’t booted for several months has a virus?
