Seeking a mortgage isn’t a barrel of fun because it’s repetitive and frustrating.

One of the other negative aspects is the pressure from banks to buy, if you are a good candidate.

Check out the interesting way this man put a stop to it.

Call me non-stop? I’ll give you a reason to stop

I have recently been rate shopping for a mortgage.

This already sucks due to the current rates, but out of my control entirely.

That is a separate story.

One company in particular cannot understand when I ask them to not call 5 times within a two hour period.

It’s getting ridiculous!

I answered a call while under a car trying to do an inspection at work.

Told the guy in nice words but a harsh way that it’s hard to do my job when you call this much in a short time span, I am under a car currently and I will call you when I have time.

Fast forward to my first day off after this incident (and multiple calls between then).

I finally had some time with the Mrs., got some breakfast and was enjoying my morning.

Then the call came. I tried to answer and they immediately hung up.

They called back again and did the same thing.

So he got ridiculous, too.

Petty revenge activated. I called back and they answered in one ring.

Gave their intro which I promptly cut short by saying “Sorry, I’m a bit busy now. Currently having a good time with my wife. Can I call you back at a more convenient time?”

Then I groaned and panted. I could only imagine the look on the guy’s face when he said “Sure, no problem.” *Click.*

The Mrs. and I laughed hard after that one.

Here is what folks are saying.

I doubt this would work.

Why would this deter them?

Good point. Be careful what bridges you burn.

Assuming the Mrs. believes in your method!

I bet he’s an actor.

Creative.

I’ll give him that.
