'I just wasted as much of their time as I could': Pesky debtors face petty revenge for blowing up dude's work phone

I don't think I know a single person under the age of 40 who will answer every call they get without question. The main reason for this is that these days, there is a significant chance whoever is on the other end of the line is an annoying stranger who we don't want to hear from. Spam callers, scams, and cases of mistaken identity are rife, so it makes sense to just avoid those unknown numbers.

That being said, not everybody gets that luxury. Some have no choice but to take the chance and suffer the consequences, as with one Redditor who was inundated with calls about the debt of the person who had had his phone number before him.

As he was working in tech support, he had no choice but to answer the phone whenever it called—which meant he came up with a devious method to confound these unwanted communications. The petty revenge lovers of Reddit applauded him, as well as adding a couple of their own strategies.
