SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

As a telemarketer hater, I applaud you... you filthy lawyer. ;-)

Ok seriously, If I wanted to bring a suit - how do I get the info of the company in order to do so? Often the number they are calling from shows up as unidentified.

Also

Political callers and charities are not exempt.

I thought they were. Wow! What if you're a member of their party in your county? We get lots of polling callers, robocalls and "reminders to vote" around early November. Can we go after them too?

Wrong number calls (e.g. wrong number debt collection calls) count.

We get one or two of these per year and in some cases they keep you on the line threatening you for 10-15 minutes, insisting that you owe them money & they are taking you to court. But we KNOW they've got the wrong person. How can we nail these scumbags?

Thanks for doing this. This is truly one of my pet peeves.

Not OP but a kindred spirit.

My idea: Give her 6 anniversaries in one day (or maybe one weekend)!!

Start out with a note: If I was home in 2014 (am I right?) I'd have taken you to a lovely breakfast so we're going to "XXXXXX breakfast restaurant" because they have the best blueberry pancakes (whatever her favorite breakfast item is) in Providence.

Then after breakfast, if I was home in 2015 we would have gone to the museum...

Then at the museum, if I was home in 2016 we would have had a picnic lunch at somewhere scenic in Providence.

Then work your way up to this year. These notes can be handwritten on cards or something. OP likes elaborate calligraphy and wax seals. It makes the clue more special. Maybe you could do something like that.

I think this would be so cool and would help bookings.

My family and I stated at a B&B in Vermont one time where they told us that there was a secret compartment in our room and if we found it we could leave something there. Turns out the desk had a hidden compartment and people left guestbook-type messages.

Maybe make a post in the Architect's subreddit here: /r/Constructedadventures and others can join in.

I had a very similar idea about 3-5 years ago but nixed it becasue I didn't think it would get off the ground. Congratulations on getting it up and running successfully! This really inspires me.

Would love to work with you on East Coast projects (I filled out your Google form) and share ideas in your new sub.

If there's one job that I could get excited about every morning when I got out of bed, this would be it.
