Just No – Stream of Consciousness Saturday & Just Jot It January # 25
The Friday Reminder for #SoCS & #JusJoJan 2020 Daily Prompt – Jan. 25th
***
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “last call.” Talk about the enterprise (sales or service) conducted by the last phone call you received from a business you’re not associated with (i.e. your workplace), or talk about that phone conversation itself. Have fun!

Well, what we have here is a failure to communicate. That’s right – I don’t communicate with outside businesses that call on my phones. They have no business to call me umpteen times a day for no reason that interests me.
We have caller I. D. and if I don’t recognize the number I zap it off as fast as I can. It’s so annoying.
It’s just as bad when I get random text messages on my phone from weird places – like this one –
The messages say they’d like to sell our property, and sometimes they have our address, and sometimes it’s an address we’ve never heard of or lived at before. Then I have to take the time – a whole second maybe to delete the messages, because there’s always more than one.
On the phone ones, I have no idea what they’re selling, and even if I did know, I wouldn’t buy it from some random caller.
Just no – I will not communicate with any of them.

Thanks for visiting! Peace ☮️

Hate those text message ones!
I know, me too. Seems it’s just getting worse with the phone calls and the texts. 🙂
The text ones started in recent months. I had one that read ‘your package was delivered’ only I wasn’t expecting any orders. A few weeks later one of my friends on Facebook posted a message about this – other people had received the same text. No idea what would have happened if any of us click on the address. Thankful I deleted it which is my new motto for unknown stuff.
I just got 2 of those… for my ex husband! Like I’d care about any packages for him in the first place 😡
Thanks, Paula!
So weird for that to happen – makes you feel like the twilight zone sometimes.
Thanks, J.
That is a strange one. What kind of people do this – awful scammers! Best to not even answer any of them. 🙂
No idea where callers find our cell phone numbers. There’s lots of scams and yes I
no longer bother to answer them – slide
over to ‘delete’.
Yep, exactly, J.
Surely they know we’ve figured out they are up to no good. Just wasting their time and ours for sure.
I let them talk to my voice mail. If they really want to get hold of me they can leave a message. Nine times out of ten, they don’t.
Thanks, John!
They’ll try anything to fool people into picking up the phone, won’t they? And, it’s never good. Sometimes if I don’t cut the call off in time it will go to voicemail, so I just delete it, too. 🙂
Same. If it’s important, they’ll leave me a message. News Flash: It’s never important.
Thanks, Joey!
That’s what I think too. If it’s important – and it never is. I know my familiar contact numbers, and if I don’t recognize it – off it goes. 🙂
