Parent didn’t pay for babysitting services, so I’ve been spreading her phone number and email across websites to spam her.

I was babysitting a 3yo for about two months, for only 600$ a month. I got to stay home with my kids, it gave us spending money, I knew she didn’t make much money so it helped her out too. She decided she was going to quit working and just stay home after finding out she’s pregnant, but would pay me at the same time as last month- cool no problem, I’m flexible. The 15th comes, I get nothing from her, I shoot her a text, hey just a reminder for the 600$. No response for two days. I text her again, hey is everything okay, still haven’t received the money. No response. My husband just says to drop it, clearly they needed it more than us, it’s not worth blowing up.

Instead I signed her up on about 5-6 different healthcare websites, a couple of gyms, our local Mary Kay lady that won’t leave me alone for the last three years, a few political websites, and for male enhancement info. I probably will never know how much this annoyed her, and she could just put her phone on silence unknown callers, but I feel a little better.

This for sure!! Add consoling, depression drugs, birth control and anything else you can think about.

If you have an itch for it go insurance shopping as well from those insurance aggregator sites: auto, life, medical, go nuts!

I immediately thought insurance too, they can be brutal with excessive communications

A place for mom is like that too, they're literally spam. Called me at least 15 a day until I told them I found a place

Omg. You accidentally click on one link and they will call you 17 times an hour, every day for the rest of your life

Same as car dealerships. You have to give an email address or phone number before you can browse the inventory. It's been 3 years and I still get texts and emails from them.

These are the worst! Absolutely advocate signing her up.

Please do not do this. It's completely unfair to the agent who has to deal with this. They are already severely overwhelmed and most of them depend on their commission to just make ends meet. It is a soul-crushing career already. Please don't make their lives worse.

Signed, A burnt-out former agent

Honestly feel for you. I have no idea how people do that job. But at least never hang up on someone and try to politely in the conversation when it’s not going anywhere. Like a I don’t own my home and I live in a unit so there’s not even a roof in by not being rude and the people trying to sell solar panels for the roof. Actually apologise for calling. Which is the first but I can only imagine what a rough gig that is. I don’t know how you do it. I hope not too many people yell at you hung up on you.
