I dont know what company gave my work phone out when i registered, but I have gotten 6 calls about being selected for a free trip or 500$ shopping spree in the past week. all have included the same thick indian accent, rude forceful “phone rep”, and rediculous premise (free anything these days? seriously!).

how can people be so stupid to fall for this shit?

i’ve started just messing with them though and thats the only thing that gets me through not being pissed off. today’s phonecall went something like this:

scammer: hello sir you have been selected for a free european cruise. i will just need some bank account information for verification purposes
me: i’m sorry but i have no arms or legs so i would not be a very good cruise partner
scammer: but sir the cruise ship is handicap accessible you could still go. just provide us with bank information to ver–
me: i dont have a bank
scammer: how about a legal gaurdian’s bank acc–
me: i’m an orphan
scammer: how are you answering the phone w/ no arms or legs
me: i have robotic arms
scammer: —click—

***Update: Just got call #7 @ 2:51pm.

This is turning into the bad-drivers-on-my-way-to-work blog but so be it!

According to the Michigan Department of Transportation website, when presented with a situation involving merging of 2 lanes:

“…a driver must merge into the proper lane. However, yield the right-of-way
to vehicles already in the left lane, or in the right lane in the
case of a “lane ends merge right” sign.”

The driver of the black Ford Escape license plate E94 02W clearly did not study this portion on his drivers training as he proceeded to push me off the road onto the shoulder so he could get by in front of me.

To the old guy in a tan minivan who decided to make a 3 lane right turn from the inner lane to make a left (narrowly missing me and about 4 other cars) into the Oakland Mall, fuck you. You make driving in Detroit a pleasant experience.
Have a nice day.
