I had some fun with the one who called here. He told me that if I
didn't do as instructed my Windows would shut down in 30 minutes. I kept
him on the line for about 15 minutes. Then suggested that since we had
already taken up 15 minutes of my remaining 30 he should reset it to
give me the full 30 minutes.



A days later I got a call alleging to be ATD security <?> offering me
free installation of a security system. I played him for a while then
said asked about the monitoring fee..... $29.95 per month. Nope. I said
I wanted it free. I reasoned that if they were going to give me free
equipment and install it for free that the service should be free. When
he didn't bite on that I just kept repeating "I want it all free" and
said it louder and louder each time and after a few times I was yelling
into the phone. He hung up on me nut then called back a minute or two
later and told me I was crazy and said I should get some help. ;-)
