so I get a call late last night, almost 9:00. a guy from mens health wanting to sell me some family medical book. He's going into his pitch and I cut him off and say, Im not allowed to have those kind of books in the house.....silence :laughing: finally I say well, the last time the kids got a rash I looked in the medical book and convinced myself it was some weird african disease so my husband wont let me have them anymore. ohhhhh ok. good night. :laughing: The sad part is its true...
 
Back when Jimmie and I were having really bad money problems due to Ashelyn's sicknesses, I was really on the edge of going crazy. Every day I dreaded going to the mailbox due to the doctor's bills. Anyway, one day I had a telemarketer call me wanting a donation for something and I remember just busting out bawling and told them that I needed the money myself! Needless, to say, they were very ready to get me off the phone!!

My sister still laughs at me to this day about this one :laughing: Now it seems funny, but it sure didn't back then!!
 
:laughing:I sure everyone has a twist on a situation that @ the time was serious but looking back you can see the humor in it very good :sunny:

My poor husband.

It looked awful. but of course if the book list five things ranging from dont worry about it to affects less than 1% of the population im going with the population one. :crazytongue:

My husbands uncle received a call asking him to buy magazine subscriptions. He told the caller to give him one of each magazine he offered, but to make sure they came in braille. The guy hung up and never called back! :laughing:

Do you want to hear about the time my hubby answered the door in is birthday suit when a religious group came calling? :crazytongue:
 
omg! that is sooo funny. I quess the religious group never came knocking again. I wish I could do something like that. :laughing: and tinymomo its nice to know im not the only freak here. :laughing: well, there are a couple of others. they just arent as obvious. :crazytongue:
 
I get a call from Rodale inc. just about everyday also. I don't answer the phone, if it were a prize they'd leave a message. If ya do answer the phone, you can tell them you know exactly what book they are talking about, ya got a copy of at an estate sale of an extremely physically fit man that ran 10k's and died of natural causes, on half price day. :wave:
 
If I ever get telemarketers calling the first words out of my mouth after realising they are trying to get $ is that I am not allowed to make any $ over the phone but I will be happy to look at anything they wish to send to my mail box before I toss it into the garbage. They do not talk long after I say that. :crazytongue:

but then again I have dial up and they will get a busy signal more often then not
 
Yeah....I got one of those books and found out that I have the symptoms of everything in it. Its a miracle I am still alive!

I had fun reading this...you all are so funny.

I am so bad with TM's. I just hang up. But, now on the DNC list...I don't get them. 10lk each offense. But, if they call my cell??!!! Oh...watch out...I have a nice long lecture where they usually hang up on me.
