Endless spam calls can drive anyone up the wall.

When one too many interruptions spoiled a Sunday, a kitchen percussion performance became the ultimate way to silence the nuisance once and for all.

It’s always nice to have a little fun with your revenge.

Read on to find out how it all went down!

Scammers from a certain south Asian country…

I kept getting irritating phone calls from a certain south Asian country.

Most of them were so scammy that they were even funny.

I am not a very patient person. I mean, I’m polite enough in most interactions but I can be (and will be) very blunt with these guys.

Then another call came, which couldn’t have come at a worse time for the recipient.

But on this particular day, I was not patient at all – and if there’s something about these scammers, it’s that they would ring you at the most inconvenient time.

Anyway, it was a Sunday (out of all days) and round 11 when I was prepping lunch I got a call from them.

I detest being interrupted when I am cooking, and on that particular Sunday, I was a bit miffed over a number of things.

So they decided to finally do something about it.

In a snap, I decided on a cheeky plan.

I’ve started the call spelling very quietly on the phone. I feigned interest for about a minute or so.

Now it’s time to put the real plan into action.

Time enough for me to fetch a serving metal bowl and a wooden spoon.

I put the phone on loudspeaker (still speaking quietly) and placed the bowl over the phone.

Then I hit the bowl with the wooden spoon like one would hit a drum.

The plan worked like a charm.

I’ve done that for a couple of minutes, until they cut the call.

Dear wife was pottering around the kitchen and had a laughing fit. I mean, I beat that bowl up like my survival depended on it.

It’s around 3 months I’ve done this and the calls stopped.

This little number is a sure ticket to a no-call list.

Reddit is sure to get a kick out of this. Let’s see what they had to say.

This user has a noisy tactic of their own.

This redditor is taking notes for their next annoying phone call.

Fighting back with boredom is also a viable strategy.

Straight up scaring them is also an option.

When spam calls come, sometimes it’s best to answer with a little creativity.

Or just don’t answer at all.
