gridloreAll morning, starting at 0830, I've been getting calls from Circut City for Donald Williams. See, Donny-boy bought a shitload of crap from the Evil Red Empire on credit and hasn't paid a dime yet.
And he gave them this phone number. Along with an address in Carson City, Nevada!
So I've just gotten off the phone with some second tier supervisor, explaining that Donald Williams doesn't live here, we've been here nearly three years, I've never heard of Donald Williams, and haven't set foot in a Circuit City in years. Stop calling me. When the supervisor went "well, this is the number he gave me.." I went off.
Me: "So, you're in Carson City?"
Manager: "Yes."
Me: "Tell me, is 408 a local area code for you?"
Manager: "No, it's 775."
Me: "So what the fuck does it tell you that Mr. Williams gave you a local address and a phone number in San Jose, California? He scammed you, sir. I'm willing to bet that the address he gave you is a vacant lot or closed business. Do not call me anymore. If you need to contact me in the future, use the mail. (gives address.) I do not know Donald Williams, but if I ever meet him, I will rip out his lungs. "
One draw back to cordless phones, you can't slam the receiver down.
