My wife called me at work this morning and tells me when she started her car this morning, it sounded like "an old, wind up model A." I told her not to start it again and I would meet her at work and check the oil!

Or when changing a ball joint, you discover you need a new axle!

When it's an out of state number... they almost always want to give me a 250,000 dollar small business loan... or sell me keychains and service stickers... or credit card processing.

I got one of those "your son is in jail in Mexico and he needs $$$$$ to be set free"

I gave them the biggest run around I could. Especially funny for me since I have no children.

If I actually had any kids I probably would have hated to get that call.

Not necessarily a phone call, but a call from the wife through the door/window when you're halfway through washing or detailing youe car, asking if you're done yet because she has "chores" for you to do. :doh:

We're in the same boat, and do the same thing if we have the extra time.

A bit OT, but back in the days of 'real mail', I got my draft notice...only problem was that I was already IN the military!

When windows calls to tell me I have a virus. I tell them I own a mac, then windows is happy to transfer me to their mac department, lol.

A call that forces me up & out from a warm bed.

A call that wakes me up from an awesome dream, which 99.99% almost always some bull**** telemarketing or wrong number.

I may have gone to the most extreme method of avoiding annoying calls. My home phone is left off the hook unless I want to make a call.

My close friends have my cell # and no body else. I have never gotten a telemarketer call on it. I have it set to reject all numbers other than those few people, and NONE of them drink.

We GOT RID OF our home phone due to telemarketers. We use her cell as our primary # so we get the important calls wherever we are.
