One called yesterday and I picked up but didn’t say anything. I could hear the gravely voiced guy on the other end saying “Yeah, I’m gonna try this one now!”
On a hike last Summer another party approached from the other direction. Immediately on seeing us one one-armed guy called out, “There you are, we’ve been looking for you!” My first impression was there was problem, perhaps someone was hurt. Then he said, “This is about the warranty on your new car”. After a chuckle I responded “Rachel, there you are. There’s something I promised myself I’d say to you if we ever met”. The rest is edited for inappropriate content… :)
I answered one of these one time and kept them on the phone for about 15 minutes. I said, " That’s great because I need a warranty on my car, it’s been sitting in the back yard for about 15 years and won’t run." The young lady asked me what year and model was my car. I told her it was a 1957 Ford Fairlane, after a long pause she passed me to her supervisor. After I talked to him for awhile about how I could get a warranty on my car, he began to get agitated because I guess I was wasting their time. The call ended when I said, “Hey you are the ones who called me.”
About ½ the spam phone calls I get are about extended car warranties. Most of the other ½ are about problems with my “Windows operating system”… but I’ve never in my life used Windows (on my own machines)… makes me wonder if people without cars get calls about car warranties.

Actually, that’s not a bad idea. Fortune cookie advertising. I like it.
