Sign them up for spam calls

This. If they think unsolicited contact is no big deal let them enjoy hundreds of emails and calls a day for shit they don't want.

Pretty messed up of you to suggest doing that to other people tbh. Do you have any tips on how to avoiding getting on those lists? I just wouldn't want to run into them, and also want to be able to tell my loved ones how to avoid them. Which websites should I stay away from?

When I was in highschool, the Jehovas Witness site watchtower started accepting anonymous applications to have someone show up at your door.

I may have written a simple script that randomized the info while keeping the address the same. Fired it off on a few people I didn't like and a few months later I heard them complaining about getting Jehovah's witnesses showing up like 3-4x/week lol

:this:

more effective at annoying them and wasting their time and doesn't pollute your mind with bad vibes

I need this for reasons. Any good suggestions?

At the last job I had, we rarely banned customers for non-payment. But every single one we actually did ban was a realtor. It wasn't even a type of business that realtors usually need.

i should become a realtor, it pays a lot and you don't even need a working brain to do your job

now that i think of it a corpse could probably be a good realtor too

[–] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

A corpse at least wouldn't be sending annoying texts yeah.

I knew a guy that tried becoming a realtor that I also regularly described as one of the most gullible people I've ever known. Last time I checked he was trying to market himself as an AI prompt engineer.

Careful. You don't want to turn into this. The realtor from Disco Elysium. Her soulless grin is harrowing.

[–] DasRav@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I read realtor as redditor and honestly it did not move the needle on my understanding of this picture.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I did the same thing...

In bad country, harassment of citizens by cartels is a daily occurrence with little recourse for most people.

In the future before you burn them, ask them to meet somewhere to go over specifics on selling, preferably somewhere far away and during rush hour. Don't show up but keep telling them you're just 15 minutes away.

I just say ok, well I need another 100-200k above what you're going to offer because I still need a place to live and the only houses for sale are going for $350k and up. I would rather not sell only to have to go further in debt to live. They then asked if I knew someone else that is ready to sell. Like MFr I am not a fellow land developer.
