I'm a Wicked Lady

[milieva]

I keep failing to keep any sort of blog or anything. Maybe I should be using this for a morning pages type brain dump in the morning before I start writing.

Anyway...

Yesterday we got yet another scam caller pretending to be from our internet provider.

-

Caller: "I'm calling from Sky about your internet connection. We're showing that your connection is broken. Can you check your router and see what lights are on."

Me: "Oh, that's probably because my router's in the closet." (We do actually have an old Sky router on a shelf in the linen cupboard)

Caller: "What?"

Me (explaining patiently): "Our router's in the closet. It's not ready to come out yet."

Caller (suddenly exasperated with me): "And you're a wicked lady" *Hangs up*

That might be the highlight of my week so far. We'll see what happens the rest of this week.

LOL. That is awesome. Nothing like pissing off scammers when you are in a mood.

I once kept a "microsoft repairman" on the line for around 10 minutes pretending to a)be computer illiterate b) own a mac. (I googled what a mac desktop looks like, lol.)

He called me several bad names and hung up when he figured out I was describing a mac screen. Was fun while it lasted.

That's always fun.

I told one of them that I didn't have a computer once. That was funny. He was so confused and told me to have a nice day and hung up.
