Extended warranty jokes are never NOT funny.

One day I will regret never going through on one of those calls just to give grief about “Are you talking about my 400,000 mile Benz? I thought maybe if the odometer broke the warranty was void” or “It’s nice that people are stepping into the void left after Ford’s warranty expired in May of ‘65".

But I can’t really spend the time to do that at work, can I?

Borg memes never go out of style.

I’m borderline disappointed that I’ve only ever gotten one of those because I have so many things to say planned out.

I just get the lame ones about health insurance.

Borg memes will add your memeological distinctives to their own.

I was getting one to two calls a day last year for a few months. I just stopped answering the phone unless I had the number in my contacts.

my father in law told those guys he no longer has a car. They were like oh you don’t have the impala? I’m sure we can help with whatever you have. He was like..no...i dont have a car AT ALL. “Well, surely you have a vehicle” “nope”.

Never heard from them again.

Last time they called me I told them I was a master mechanic that does his own repairs. they politely said they’d take me off the list as I clearly don’t need them.

Called again the next day.

The reality is, they hang up on you pretty fast if you challenge the m at all. I asked them if they could identify any vehicle I owned and they just hung up.

The good news, is tha t they stop calling if you fuck with them enough.

Over the past few years, the University has been merging our Health Science Center colleges into the mothership, based 200 miles to the south. Every time they overrule the way we do something with their procedures , we say “resistance is futile”. The funniest thing to me is that whenever you tell someone down south this, they are surprised.

I never realized the “adjunct” in Tertiary Adjunct was short for Adjunct Professor.

I sometimes feel like an adjunct here, tenure notwithstanding.

It’s a robo call. Even the snarkiest of comments cannot shake their impassive metallic voice.

When they call, I ask them which of my cars they are calling about.  They just keep repeating their script, and when I ask again which car this is for, they always hang up.  Anything I can do to waste their time is worth it.
