@Purple-N-Hairy I apologize for getting mad at you the other day. Sometimes we all have to understand everything isnāt always as it seems. I think we all can get a little upset at someone and each other sometimes. I do apologize
Any word from mr.bee yet?

Stuck in my head:
BUT SERIOUSLY 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICES!
My grandfather survived WW2 via 2x POW campsā¦ one Russian, one German; and was declared dead by 2 armies. As an Estonian officer he spoke Estonian,Russian and German fluentlyā¦ the latter is what saved his life. When the Germans came he wasnāt killed as he was āusefulā being fluent; just another body for the war machine. Eventually while being forced to work by the Germans the Russians occupied and he was captured by a DIFFERENT army!
Now, if you donāt know the history Russia has wanted the land that Estonia occupies sinceā¦ well FOREVERā¦ so they tended to shoot Estoās on site as dead people in unmarked graves canāt fight back. Thankfully for the family he was put into a Rus POW camp and survived by sheer will (and sneaking potato skins when forced to peel to keep fed, and counting fleas to keep saneish).
When the allied forces emancipated that particular camp, he then made his way to England in hopes of finding his wife and 8 year old son; who he had NEVER MET due to the war as my gran was pregnant at the time he had to go on tour. Regardless of all the terror; my grandmother āfeltā the need to stay in England even though he was listed as killed in action. She stayed on until all the rest of the family had fled Europe and it was JUST her and my fatherā¦
ā¦and would you believe that in the final month before she had too get on a boat to 
HE FOUND HER!
Due to all of this I exist and am both very thankful for both the luck and skill involved making it work out in the end. 
And iāll say it again: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICES!

That was wonderful. "I am from the Visa and Master Charge accounting department. There are two recent charges for $200 and $1,000. If you did not make these purchases press 1.)
So a person gets on the line, āDid you make these charges?ā
āYes.ā
āYou made these charges?ā
āYes.ā
āFuck off.ā Click.

Fucking with scammers is a real thrill, Iāve been trying the Seinfeld approach lately.
I tell them Iām busy, not sure when Iāll be free. āHow about you give me your number and Iāll call you back when I get a minute?ā They never say yes since theyāre all spoofing numbers anyways.
When they refuse to give you a number to call, you say āOh, I guess you donāt want people calling you at home? Now you know how I feelā. Click.

I messed with a few that want to fix my computer because it is compromised. Had one guy going for five minutes. First off, which computer? I am using two. In the end I said was not using Microsoft as an operating system then he hung up.

This is so real to me. My dad had his father used for bayonet practice by some Polish soldiers. They took my dad away, eventually the Russians got him and he was taken away to a Siberian prison camp. He was finally let go when the Red Cross cam and asked to take a few of the sick. Since my dad was almost starved to death and was not much useful to do work he was let go. While he was there he would get scrounge some potato peels to eat. You would think he would not want to have eat potato after that. The opposite was true, to him a potato meant life. I ate a lot of potatoes growing up. He ended up in Canada and somehow found his family that was in East Germany under the Russians. He would send dollar bills to them in the middle of Life Savers sent for the kids.(Russians checked the mail and confiscated anything they wanted) He saved every cent that he could scrape together and sent the money over which they used to get to West Germany before the Berlin wall went up. My motherās family escaping the war was as harrowing also. Thereās was a tough generation. Fight to survive or die.

I ask em when the best time to call, when they donāt give me an answer I then ask āwell, when do you eat dinner? cause thats the perfect time for me to callā āclickāā¦
I had one go one for 15 minutes about my student loansā¦ (I have none)
I also had one that pleaded with me for a solid 10 minutes to āpay my back taxesā cause they didnāt wanna see me go to jail. I of course focused on why they didnt want me to go to jail, not the āunpaid back taxesā (again, I have none)
The best was a car dealer that pulled a bait and switch on me, and I left. Few weeks later I get a call from the salesman on a ācar for meā. Asked all sorts of questions, probably made the guy think he had sold the car on the phone, only to say āno thanks, the car I bought from your competitor two weeks ago suits me just fine, alot better than the bait and switch POS you showed me 3 weeks ago, now PLEASE remove me from your mailing and phone listsā. Well, they calledā¦ multiple times. I cued up a really loud porn clip and just put it on speaker and walked awayā¦ Clearly they didnāt get the hint at first.
On that note, I bet they have my name on file at their dealership with an asterisk and āpervertā next to it because of that LOL

I like to try to sell scammers something. Doesnāt matter what, just pick a product and go into a sales pitch. Coral Calcium, Amway, duct cleaning, lol. Just keep telling them if they give you a credit card number you can have them set up in no time. What, who canāt use a jelly of the month club subscription. Eventually they hang up on me

the guy will shine them on while copying & deleting files off their CPUāsā¦
So I was hoping to get some advice without starting a new topic. What should I add to amend a living soil/ coco mix? Amending because the grow finished and I assume the plants sucked all the nutrients out. Started with 2 bags sohum living soil, 4 bags fox farm ocean forest and a block of coco. I was planning on adding mushroom compost. I just donāt know what all I should add.
I kept one on the line for a good ten minutes making him think I was interested but just needed a little more convincing. Then I asked him if his mother and father knew what he did for a living. When he asked what I meant I replied āWell, I canāt think they would be very proud if they knew you were trying to scam a bunch of people out of the little they haveā.
I thought he would just hang up but the guy stayed on there for a good long time cursing me in English and whatever his language was.
I was impressed with his knowledge of English curse words TBH.
