You know what really grinds my gears?

Yeah, they are getting number specific.

Not only do they have the area code nailed, they have the prefix(next 3 numbers) nailed as well lately.

Oh yeah, I've been getting plenty of those in the past 6 months or so. Calls from my area code+prefix. Pretty sure they are hoping we'll think it's just a miss-dial, or the number will match someone in our contacts.

When people talk about The Office without referencing which version. The UK original is the greatest comedy period, the US version was exceptional for the first 3 seasons, then had 4 great/good seasons and the final 2 were whack juice.

Every time I hear or see "The Office" I assume it's the UK version out of spite

I never liked The Office, be it the UK or American version. Just didn't appeal to me. But I have heard many people say the UK version was far superior.

The frustrating part about those scammers is that it's technically not illegal. They're doing things in a different country and somehow are legally allowed to do it. I think as long as they're not impersonating any organizations or anything like that, they're allowed. Like those air duct people, or furnace people.

Thankfully here they made certain types of door to door salespeople illegal.

Never really warmed up to the UK version of The Office. Steve Carrell >>> Ricky Gervais for me.
