"Hello" puff puff #%@#%@*(a few choice words)

"He's not here" as my knee throbs, my temper is rising.
"When will he be reachable?"
"What is this pertaining to?"
"Ma'am?"

"Are you Mrs. N.N.?"
"LISTEN, YOU DIALED MY NUMBER, I ASKED YOU WHAT THIS IS PERTAINING TO, YOU CALL MY HOUSE EVERY NIGHT WITH THIS NUMBER SHOWING UP ON MY CALLER ID; WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH MY HUSBAND THAT YOU CAN NOT DISCUSS WITH ME????

Tell me....they call my poor 60 year old Daddy about all sorts of JUNK, he can't hear and they won't let him sleep.
