today I like answering my ceel phone and on the other line is someone speaking spanish to me this seems to happen 3-4 times a day. So I really enjoy playing into it bc I can speak some spanish just not as fluent as I like to be. I also found out the lady who had this number several months ago has been deported go figure that one out. So I have devised a plan of attack to counter measure all of this it is to answer my phone representing myself as the INS and ask what affiliation they have with this person and also would like to question them in some references. thinking of buying a new suit and a badge which u can get off of ebay and start my own retaliation against the people are bugging me.
Almost unreadable.
In your defense, I can see where you're coming from.

What, me worry?
I used to get a lot of people calling my house speaking Chinese. I speak no Chinese at all so my only avenue of revenge was to say in English, "Sorry wrong number.", and hang up. Generally I feel ashamed that, while in many countries people easily manage to speak more than one language fluently, I am undereducated and culturally stunted and speak but one language. Fortunately that is the norm in the US, and we have a lot of money, so if I travel internationally the chances are good that I will get by speaking nothing but English. It will still embarrass me though, but not enough to work hard to learn a second language, which is hard in the US as we have a very strange objection to a multi-lingual culture.
So true Cath. As Americans, I feel we expect everyone to conform to our standards because we're the "power" in the world. Someday it'll bite us in the ass, probably soon.
But to Clouse's post, good God man.
Personally, impersonating a law enforcement officer or government official doesn't really seem worth it when weighed against what could potentially happen to you for going forth with this plan. However it sounds like your just joking... I hope?
have to say today was a no call day. I am enjoying the peace and quiet. And hings like this I do not joke!!
