Preface:
Yes, those motherfucking "private callers".
"Hello private caller. No, he's not home, I'll tell him you called... AGAIN."
Why don't you answer the fucking phone? You're the one calling MY house. I don't have any problem telling you he is or isn't here. I'll even take it a step further and let him know you called.
Yes, I can do that, if you'd JUST FUCKING ASK.
