Tuff titty said the kitty. But it hasn't ever deterred them yet so they must
be used to it. Recently they've been hitting my cell phone too, so I just
registered its number on the National Do Not Call list while I was
re-registering the home number. As the cell phone seems to do a better job
on the caller ID, I expect to be able to cost Volkswagon of America about
$50k one of these days, they are calling to advise me my warranty is about to
run out. Since its a 2002 Jetta, the warranty was about out when I bought it
nearly 2 years ago & if you have ever dealt with VOA on a warranty matter,
you know very well they wouldn't violate the warranty terms right down the
the last dotted i in the whole document. So yeah, these jerks all get 'the
best part of you ran down your mothers leg' treatment from me.
Or worse, I can be a cantankerous old coot when the occasion is called for. I
got rid of the local call center bugging me long before the NDNC list, after
I caught them on a caller-id modem I was logging, I took the printout
and 'Betsy' and made a personal call to their front office. I instructed
them to paint the number I gave them on the wall as one you will never call
again. Calls went way down after that. I'll let your imagination fill in
just what Betsy was.
