The caller should know the response
Another of those days where schools closed due to the weather. Some schools. And not exactly due to the weather. More to the snow which was moving sideways, throwing the inner ear of drivers into disarray as they sought the safety of the ditches. Altogether not a good day for travel. So, we didn’t.
Instead, we found a series of movies starring Rowan Atkinson. You may recognize the name; he plays Mr. Bean. Same man, different movies. These had no comedy. None. Instead, provoked by some mid-life crisis, he decided to make French detective stories, in English, while filming in Budapest. Confusing for the rest of us, but the buildings and cars were a treat for the eyes. I wonder where the natives hide during the hours of camera work?
I got one of those cryptic phone calls from a recording, letting me know that my credit card had been involved in fraudulent activity. By pressing 1, I could BOTH decline the activity and accept the activity?? Oh, and since I don’t happen to hold a card from the firm in question, I could possibly upset the balance of international accounting. I guess that’s why they hung up before I could enter my response.
Actually, my telephone seems to serve little other than to attract odd calls. Earlier, we had a call looking for a relative that has been buried for better than a decade now. Is this a sign that the electoral scavengers are getting ready for the next elections? Not many other possibilities. We also get calls offering to consult our astrology forecast; I suggested that the caller already knew the response to that one.
