Having some Yunan tea. Getting an unusually large number of asshole scammers calling and it isn't even 11 yet, probably because yesterday was a holiday. Some of these people are so sleazy and awful I feel like washing after I talk to them. And people want to know why I don't bother getting a cell phone. 90% of the calls I get are from these scumbags. It's annoying enough to be bothered by them at home, I don't want them bothering me when I'm out too. It's just a good thing they can't see me over the phone. They are so rude to me.

Do you have caller ID? I remember when I had a landline, we got way more spam calls than I do on my cell, and that was even with registering for the Do not Call List. The problem is that so many of these originate overseas but spoof numbers to look domestic, so the Do Not Call List doesn't really mean much anymore.

I do have caller ID. A lot of the time I won't even pick up the phone. This morning one of the assholes called me claiming to be a lawyer but caller ID said they were calling from some hotel so I was all, "Why are you calling me from a hotel instead of your office?" and they panicked and hung up.

That is funny, even if annoying for you!
