    I love leftover spaggheti... :)

    It's evening over here, but it has been lovely weather today and I've been to the beach, trying to get a little colour. :)

    I like my peppers.
    But I'll never eat an Aji pepper.
    I love Jalepenos in my sandwiches.
    But I think I'll just have a simple peppercinci this time.
    My finger has a cut and I don't want to get hot pepper on it.

    Hi guys! Anybody have any tips on explaining to creditors that they really do have the wrong number?

    You'll have better luck explaining relativity to a cabbage.

    You can't understand a word they say.
    Mom when creditors keep calling, will speak weirdly and keep telling them...repeat that repeat that.
    They eventually stop calling and tell us they have the wrong number.

    Is it the same creditor? If it is, and they keep calling you even though you are not the person they are trying to reach...tell them to knock it off or you will get them for harassment. Ask to speak to their supervisor, explain to the sup that you will be pursuing legal action if the harassment continues. God, I am such a Californian...all else fails, threaten a lawsuit.

    Everyone listens once you threaten to report them to the better business bureau or straight up sue them

    Collectors don't give a ****. They blind call neighbors to put pressure on the debtor, they make harassing calls at any hour, they call workplaces illegally. When caught, they are rarely given more than a slap on the hands and the occasional fine.

    They are real bottom feeders.

    Oh, I hate that when they talk fast. I'm like:
    "Hello, with..." and then I can't continue talking because it goes:
    "rattlerattlerattlerattlerattle..."

    How should I get my cousin to come downstairs with me even though he has eaten already?
    It's all quite when no one is around me.

    You know what I cant stand?

    I keep getting this call from someone who says that my car's warranty is about to expire. (I dont have a car.) "Please press one to speak to a representative." So I press one, and then I am hung up on.

    I googled the number once, and apparently it is a big hoax. I keep getting the same recording, but it's now from different numbers! (Meaning, I've blocked the numbers as they are received), but it keeps coming from a new number every time. A long distance number.

    My phone plan really, really sucks, and I have to pay whenever I pick up a long distance call. I could let it roll to voicemail, but I actually have a lot of friends who live out of town and dont share my area code.

    Ughh... :mad:

    I get a call to my house.
    And someone calls and I say hello and then they hang up.
    But my friends number comes in as a private name or private number so I pick up the phone thinking it may be them.
    But instead it's this thing where they hang up once I say hello.

    I frequently get the call telling me I can get more credit on my non-existant credit card.

    "Come quickly, OMG, ... (cousins name here), you really have to take a look at this!"

    He'll come running down and then you start talking to him to distract him and he'll stay without that he knows it.

    That guy calls me all the time too..home, work..doesn't matter. I call him my friend Click. He's just checking up on me to make sure I am ok. It beats complaining about that a-hole who keeps interrupting dinner.

    Sadly my cousins isn't the gullible type.
    He's a big bully, he's bigger then me in weight and height.
    And he's playing video games and I get hungrier by the minute.
    And once he plays video games I have to do a lot of stalking, hovering, waiting on him.
    Sometimes it works, today it hasn't.
    But I really need someone there while I eat.

    If you have a minute I'll be there.

    Okay, that's gonna take longer than a minute for me. Where do you live? :p
