It's actually a friend's story. He worked at a place that rhymes with pest, and was doing outbound for something or another. The guy he got started yelling as soon as he picked up the phone, cursing, screaming... Friend was calm and collected. Then the guy started threatening his family. I was told it was something along the lines of "come to your house, kill you, kill you male relatives, rape your female relative, and stab your dog."

Said friend is rather family-oriented. Threats did not go over well at all.

He very calmly, collectedly confirmed the guy's information, which placed him about 3 hours' drive away. He then requested his lunch break. Supervisor, having overheard the call, agrees.

Friend drove out to the guy's house, knocked on his door, and when it was answered, asked "Are you Mr. Sonso?" Guy says yes, he is. Friend proceeds to use a shotgun on guy's car, and leaves after telling him "If you ever threaten my family again, that will be you."

He drives back to work, clocks back in, and proceeds to finish his day.

The guy didn't get the balls together to report him until the next day. XD

That beats the "I will hunt you down" calls that happened to a couple friends of mine at my last job.

In both cases, the guys are snarky and somehow are able to pull it off without getting into trouble.

First one happened to 'B'. Guy's computer issue after about 45 minutes on the call turned out it wasn't our software and the only thing left after trying everything possible over the phone was to call the computer manufacturer. Guy went ballistic and started with "I know where you work" and gave the address for our location. Not a hard thing on that since it was one of the major employers out here.

B just without losing pace says "Okay. But I do know where you live and it's only a few blocks away from where I live."

Guy just got quiet and hung up the phone.

The other one happened to 'J'. J used to be in the military, served in combat so he's completely unflappable. Call was about an hour long, issue ended up being the computer so bogged down with spyware that no removal program could be downloaded so the guy had to take the computer to a shop for them to clear it out. I'm in between calls so I was able to pay full attention at this part. Guy threatens he's coming down to the building with a gun, and J in his same chipper tone says "Okay, if that's what you feel you have to do. After you get past security, you'll want to head down the main row to the back and turn left, I'll be wearing the green and white shirt and I do have a baseball cap on just so when you're brought in on murder charges you at least shot the right person."

Don't know what the guy said after that, but J was grinning and began setting up for his next call.

	Yes. I have no idea who to credit it to; I'd uploaded them all to my LJ and lost all the info when my paid time ran out, and then my comp died on top of it and I lost the info I'd had on them there. If you do find out who it belongs to, please let me know? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
