How do you handle someone who calls you and asks for you by full name but refuses to identify whats its in regards to?

It could be a collections agency. My parents are refusing to pay an accidental bill that a company is refusing to acknowledge is accidental. Companies hire collection agencies to try and collect said bills in this situation. Unfortunately, for some reason, my phone number was on the account.

So, I kept getting calls from a collections agency and everytime they would refuse to say who they were until I told them my name (which happens to be the same as my dad, who's on name is on the account). It took them forever to get me off their list.

I don't blame you for refusing to say that you are who they are asking for. I suppose the system is to protect privacy, but you can say who you are without disclosing personal information, it's really idiotic.

My dad never taught me anything.

When people tell me stories about them and their dads growing up it makes me sad cus me and my dad never had a warm relationship.

Culturally enforced masculinity is probably just one major cause for this. Also komodo dragon males are absent from the rearing process.

What do you think??

"You need to learn patience." What kind of bs is that? Ohhhhhh thank you mistah landlord for deigning to reply to my humble inquiry on your glorious property while i BASICALLY PUT MY WHOLE LIFE ON HOLD waiting for you to get back to me.

No no, mistah landlord, please don't express any empathy to me at all when i get rankled that you are clearly wasting my time, i don't deserve it!

I mean, it seems to me the guy (or gal?) basically admitted he lied to you and was upset that you caught him in the lie? I mean clearly he's not showing anyone the room if he's in the hospital. Him getting upset is not a reasonable reaction to what you said, he should be apologizing to you if anything.

In any case, he's clearly unprofessional. An unprofessional land lord can and will cause you problems down the road based on what i hear. Good on you for knowing a bad deal when you see one.

What funny things did you do as a child?

Once when i was a young lizardling i defecated in the nest and no one laughed because komodo dragons are incapable of producing that noise with their throats.

i hate this site half the time.

Well, this is in theory a pg site so that's probably the solution for you if you really need to say bad words when you type and have other people read it even when they've (in theory) opted out.

What if you wrote it all in a word or wordpad document and used the find/replace function to change all the cussing to more benign things? Like change all the f words to flip or flipping. Or darns.
