We love the car accident one. We Always agree with them and ask which car we were driving cause we have so many we've got confused due to the head injury. We string things along as long as we can before telling them we died in that accident. Such fun!!

I find saying pardon or sorry constantly winds them up so they finally hang up. Have also been known to play the panic alarm right near the microphone

[chrisd20]

When they ring up about the accident you had...
I've had loads of accidents, can you tell me which date you are referring to? Lol

 

[malani]

@chrisd20 I usually tell them it wasn’t an accident, I meant to do it

 

[taylordevarney]

@chrisd20 a good one to say when they ask what injuries you sustained in your accident is to tell them that you actually died, and see how they respond! Lol
