How not to have Scotto kill you with repeated blows to the head by a blunt object –
Do not call, letting it ring until voice mail picks up, then hang up, and call again (repeat until Scotto is in a deep lather, from trying to think, and ignoring the phone) and then give pointless information that could’ve been left of voicemail in the first place.
To save lives, I have programmed a macro into my phone. The same line has to wait at least 10 seconds before reconnecting, else they get dropped straight to voice mail. Also, I now have a workable ‘do not disturb’ button that drops folks straight into voicemail.
