When we had a phone plugged into our home line, I did enjoy stringing them along when bored.
I used to love playing Mr stupid (it’s not a hard role for me). had one guy spend 20 mins explaining his Stepps one by one. At about the 20 min mark he said what do you see, I replied ” oh you wanted to do that, I was writing it down, I’m really sorry”, he went on again for 20 mins, getting angry thst his instructions wasn’t working on my machine, then I asked how ms had my number given I was on Linux. Saying my lad put it on.
he attempted to carry on, down a different route, as he thought i was a complete fool, until my tea was ready, (or similar ) and I told him what a tw*t he was.
He was extremely rude to me. But at least why he was on with me, he wasn’t scamming some old woman or fella out of their pension. Also i enjoyed it.
