I wish I could figure out a way to work in a Star Wars reference every time a telemarketer called me. I had one the other night at 10:30 PM calling me about a health insurance plan I haven’t had in eight years. When I called her out on the late hour, I totally threw her off her script, and I had a perfect victim… but I blew it. The best I could come up with was, “I’m confused as to why you’re calling me, and it seems like you have no idea either,” at which point she said she would remove me from their list. But oh the fun I could have had if only I had thought to bring Boba Fett or R2 into the convo.

haha! May I suggest: "this is not the co-pay you're looking for." alternatively, you could just answer the phone by saying something like, "May the force be with you... this is Jackie speaking."

Let’s try this again!! Can I actually leave a comment? Holy $h1t. I literally laughed out loud at the Boba Fett reference. And my husband asked me what was so funny! I couldn’t explain it… lol. I hope your wife is cool with you trashing her to the biggest gossip mongers on the planet. 😂😂
