Last caller asked if I lived in an appointment or a house (selling ev panels or heating or something I guess), I switched around and asked how he lived, after a confused but correct answer (he lived in an apartment) I asked him where he lived, mini hilarity ensued. I wished him a good day and courage because its probably not the funniest job, I think he got a small genuine happy happy, or so his voice sounded.
Have got zero calls since.
You’re lucky to get a human to call you, I only get robocalls, literally zero humans on the other side of the line, either trying to convince me to borrow money or a fraud attempt trying to convince me “a purchase was just made on your account, press 1 to confirm or 2 to talk to our support” - on the latter, a human sometimes answers when you press 2, but they deserve all the shit you can throw at them because they’re fucking fraudsters and they know it.
I block all calls except those I know.
