Revenge, Sweet Revenge!
We are all pestered by uninvited commercial spam
messages on email and we grit our teeth and swear. That is because we cannot
hit back. In western countries, there is cousin of this nuisance known as
telephone cold callers. These could be financial investment brokers or
maintenance companies which maintain household things like water connections,
sinks, bath tubs, glass panes, and so on. What they do is to phone individual householders
to ask if they need any help in investments, mortgages, or in repairing or
mending their fixtures. Naturally, they are a pain in the neck.
In Duluth , Minnesota, USA, Marc Plainsted was one
such victim and he got quite tired of receiving calls from a glass window
maintenance firm, even after he had advised them not to call. So what he did
was to call them up every five minutes and when they asked what they could do
for him, he would just say, “No, I don’t have a crack in my window!” and hang
up. He says this seems to have worked.
