Me: "It was for my multimeter."
Her: "To check Jeep parts."
Me: "Well, yeah."
Her: "Put it back. Now."
Me: "We'll be fine for an hour. Just don't cook anything."

"Dear, the smoke detector is a safety device. It is not meant to be used as a kitchen timer."

(I dated a woman some years ago who simply couldn't cook worth a damn. Even with a recipe book! Unsurprisingly, I did most of the cooking then...)
 
<chuckle> You dated Loretta Lockhorn?

"Microsoft" has been calling me. Its always someone middle-eastern I can barely understand. They're trying to tell me there was some hacking done and they want to check my PC for issues.

Haji: Meester Firestone, we need to check the operation of your computer. There have been some mass hackings and we want to make sure your PC has not been infected.
Me: My computer is not connected to the internet.
Haji: That's no problem then, we just have to connect it to do the testing.
Me: No, it hasn't been connected for a while.
Haji: Well, it has to be connected so if you could just connect it.
Me: No, it hasn't been connected for months.
Haji: (At this point not understanding that if my PC hasn't been connected for months then it couldn't have been infected by these recent hackings.) Ok well then if you...
Me: *Click.*
 
I had a telemarketer call selling windows, he asked how my windows were, I said just one minute I'll check. Sat the phone down for about an hour and continued watching tv. I picked the phone up and he was still there! I told him my windows were fine.
 
Now that's dedication.

When I was a kid, our dogs had dug a hole into the support for the couch cushions. Once mom had a telemarketer call and she stuffed the handset down between the cushions in the hole and let the lady talk. She was there for about a half hour for sure. Mom checked again at the 45min mark and she had hung up.
 
A couple of years ago, before the Feds tracked down the aftermarket automotive warranty scammers, I'd finally managed to get them to stop calling:

"Both of my vehicles are 10+ years old, and have more than 250,000 miles on them. You'll cover both?"

"Uh, no sir, we don't."

Last call I ever got from them.
 
ROFL!!!!!! My g/f, about 2 minutes ago:

If my brother is in jail, that's where he belongs.

Ask me over a beer sometime about him. He's a real piece of work.

well, at least she's come to terms and let it go. I know some people that will do anything for POS family members, and it just drags them down too.
