do you have a second for the enviroment?

[weisyboy]

was walking threw the shops today when i was aproched by a girl that asked "do you have a second for the enviroment".

i thaught why not im in no hurry.

after listening to there great speal on how our forests are being cleared to make way fror housing and farmland and they will never grow back. i decided i would have some fun. i started by telling them i liked driving my fathers bulldozer almost as mutch as cutting trees down (and up). i explained that it is nearly a full time job keeping teh saplings down here on teh farm,

i asked them to take a drive out to ritchlands where a new road was jsut put in less than 3 months ago. all the batters of the cuts and fills are compleatly coverd in regrowth none of it was planted there. after half an hour of umm.. "debating" with them i decded that i had had my fun and it was time for lunch.:D

i hate when they waste my time so i thaught id waste some of theres.:2tsup:

Nice way to kill some time!
Although i do think we should think responsibly about our future, and not just go hacking down trees both here and abroad without considering the impact. I know i would certainly like to have my kids and grandkids (no, none yet!) play with some real wood, not some manmade rubbish- its taken us thousands of years to create MDF, just imagine the trash we will have in the future!

Hahahahah ... good on ya :)

My favourite is to wind up the Indian call centre pests. Some of my tactics:

* Thank God you called! I was just about to commit suicide.
* Have you accepted Jesus into your life?
* Woof! Woof! Woof woof woowoowoowooooooo!
* Omigod!! You mean I really WON??? I've never won anything in my life ...

I'm always looking for new ideas :)

In my best "accent"

"I have been telling you, please not to be calling me here......one night of madness was to much for me......and it is all I have been thinking about since I have not been seeing you....is it?"........at this stage they usually hang up.

I don't have to. :D When I get those calls I switch over to Dutch and reply in that language. After a few sentences they hang up.

Don't like timewasters either. I must say, however that I have watched the development f the site at the intersection of Johson Rd. and Beaudesert Rd. at Browns Plains with some interest.
Like all developments today there is a compulsion to "landscape". This is very gratifying in terms of leafiness and aesthetics but I wonder what the balance is between trees remove d and trees planted?

Here's how to handle unwanted phone calls.

YouTube - Tom Mabe funny phone call

[Ron Dunn]

Brilliant!

[dazzler]

Did she really say "Enviroment"......is that a queensland thing.

[weisyboy]

her exact workd were..

excuse me... do you have a second for the enviroment.

[ss_11000]

That is gold shutter bug:roflmao:. except, i think i woke everyone up laughing aye:D

I also liked the "thank god you called, i was just about to kill myself" line by ron.

A couple that work for me,

"Nah, she's gone to Bombay for a month to set up a call centre using Indian slave labour, were gonna make an effin killing!"

"What are you wearing?, Ive got my lycra shorts on.... gee its hot isnt it....."

"hello, (makes scratching noise with voice), Sorry I cant hear you (yelling), etc etc"

"How did you get my name, there are privacy laws at work here, I demand to speak to your supervisor...etc, etc"

[wheelinround]

More to the point where are these people getting our phone numbers home and mobiles from.

The Government depts & Telstra is selling them, Real Estate agents, Banks.

These same depts are the ones getting paid to stop this and create the laws which govern privacy.

So in essence with out this round robin effect we would have a heap of Government employee's sitting around earning the dole instead of a grand a week for doing nothing.

Telstra who hires OS call centre people at $1 a day wages is in essence a private firm. Has lots of share holders one of the largest being Federal Government which uses its investment & return to pay for retirement funds of govrnment employee's.:roll:

So are you living off the slave traders.

[ss_11000]

are you telling me that they dont just dial random numbers and pick a name out of know where and hope its right?

i honestly just thought they went thru the phone book...

My mobile number isn't in the phone book :?

Many private numbers dont show in phone books :?

[damian]

Just another suggestion, works really well for cold callers regardless of nationality etc.

I've been on the dole/unemployed for the last 2 years.

The speed at which they hang up defies the laws of physics...

I don't do business over the phone nor on my doorstep. Don't care what teh product/service/charity. Even if I were otherwise interested I don't do it as a matter of principle.

[DavidG]

Actually since listing my numbers on the "Do not call" register, life has been boring.
I have only had the odd charity to annoy.
No telemarketing companies.:U

Now if only I could find a similar solution for e-mail spam........:C
