Poll question: Do you get obscene phone calls?
I occasionally get weird phone calls.

Either some guy who's drunk and spouting gibberish, or someone who feels they need to take the time to respond to my answerphone message with "Does he sound like some kinda faggot or what?"

This excludes the near daily phone calls from the satellite service people and other telemarketers.

bankruptcy "reform" takes place.

I will commit suicide regardless if I lose everything. Not as much the hardware as the software... lived all my life with it and I've got nobody in my life, never will. (I want to pay it back, but that won't stop 'em from steamrollering me anyway.)

7. I worked in a hotel reservation call center for a while
Getting crank calls were the most fun I had all day. We even had late night regulars - the Chinese woman who wasn't wearing any pants, and the drunk redneck chick who "just wants to party". The female agents would get the guy who always called while he was taking a bath, and the guy who asked them to describe their feet.

10. I do not even get spam
I guess the Nigerians know I have no money, as well as have large enough genitalia, am super-potent and have no desire to see Britney and a horse.

11. When I was a student at Ole Miss..
I got obscene phone calls about once a month. I was GLBA President there for 2 years and in the public eye a lot; we were really active, and almost a third of the school newspaper staff were members. Once, it was a baseball player wanting to discretely "experiment".. he was a hottie, but I refused..

12. You mean, do I receive them or do I understand them?

In either case, the answer is no.
