Found the non-Millennial! I would say all phone calls are harassment. ๐
fuck off this person is whining about cold calls while people are literally dying because people like them are hoarding surplus housing.
Found the person with no sense of humour. ๐
I do not find it funny to joke about this sort of shit. People are dying because of people like the OP here and they are whining about cold calls while they deprive people of housing by being a parasitic piece of shit.
I hope they get many more cold calls in the future. Maybe joke about that instead asshole.
If you had ever been homeless or close to it you might understand but you and they are displaying some incredible levels of privilege while whining about a minor inconvenience or annoyance while they literally are responsible for people dying by hoarding housing for a profit motive and you and they can kindly go fuck yourselves.
How do you read any of this and think I'm on the side of the real estate agents or the hoarding of housing?
Because you are making light of the OP being annoyed at a cold call while millions of people die every year because of a lack of shelter.
Jesus mate, there's a reason people don't take you seriously.
So you speak for all people now? The supreme arrogance you have displayed here is incredible.
You think you deserve to determine where people can sleep. You think you deserve to own houses you don't need.
Think you need to chill out. Saying "No thanks" and hanging up doesn't take a whole lot of courage or effort.
Also, who answers calls from numbers they don't know? That shit can go to voicemail.
I just don't answer the phone, ever. I usually just stare at it, frozen in horror until the vibrating stops.
