[FRIAM] Call blockers

Tue Apr 18 21:07:38 EDT 2023

lol ed...oh I don't know just. I bet if you step on a lego you might be
able to match that person  the trick would be to record it, and have it on
stand by just in case. Now cursing them out and ranting them is encouraged,
lol you never now just how much you need to get out of your system.
One of my friends worked at ebay in customer support back in the day. Him
being him got tired of them calling him, at work. Him being him and IIRC in
the marines. I have no idea how he  held down a part time job and do
military stuff, but some he did. lol sooo one day pookie called him at
work. Since had a nasty argument with, I think it was his boyfriend. He
came up with a plan to read them the riot act for call him at work, and why
not at home! do your job right man! kind of thinking. So I guess he figured
how to right a perl script to trace the call somehow and did exactly that
while cursing them out and playing  eminem at full volume.
Most of them stopped neer instantly. This is the same man that while he
worked for a theater went full medieval on a projector that was wonky, and
didn't work conistantly. after 15 minutes it not only worked. but did so
better than it had before. and kept working for quite a while afterwords.
