4. HANG UP.
The elleng primitive is always happy to help out the mentally deranged primitives with advice. Apparently it also works in dealing with really, really stupid primitives.

6. Thanks, just did.
Call came from India. They had me hitting the windows key to call up errors. The operator exclaimed 'Oh my God!' when I read the number of 'errors' at the top of this chart that came up.
So this DUmbass was on the phone, by my count, at least seven minutes. What an idiot.

7. Does the plumber call you when your toilet backs up?
Or is it vice versa?
If you had a problem, why would they call you?
I'm amazed at the numbers of people who fall for scams.
You shouldn't be. Look who you associate with.

16. Hang up!....
It's a common scam. Don't give them any information!
I dicked around with them last time they called me. Eventually they hung up in me lol.
What is LocoNuts trying to tell us here? What does "they hung up in me" mean?
