In a world where nuisance callers are a constant irritation, a video on Imgur titled "Nuisance callers?" offers a creative and humorous solution to escape these unwelcome phone calls with one simple trick. The video, which has garnered a lot of attention, demonstrates an entertaining method that has left viewers both amused and impressed.

The video starts with the phrase, "out of any phone call with this one trick. Oh my God!" This intriguing introduction sets the stage for a series of playful and inventive strategies to fend off unwanted callers.

One user reminisced about the days of answering machines, sharing their favorite message: "This is Suchandsuch, leave a message af...wait, no...I'm sorry, no, PUT DOWN THAT CHAINSAW," followed by ten seconds of screaming over an audio sample from The Texas Chainsaw M****cre. This creative approach led to numerous hang-ups from unsuspecting callers.

Another commenter humorously suggested using a weak, bloody voice with labored breathing to say, "…I’l… buy the extended warranty and extra life insurance," adding a dramatic flair that is sure to deter any nuisance caller.

For those preferring a less theatrical approach, one comment recommended simply letting callers listen to the current content playing on their laptop speakers, leaving it up to the caller to decide whether to continue listening or hang up.

Some users offered practical advice as well. One suggested, "If you don’t have a sound effects rig to hard, just hang up as *you’re* speaking - sounds like you were cut off." Another pointed out the simplest solution: "If you just don't pick up the phone when it rings, there's absolutely nothing the person on the other end can do about it."

The video even inspired nostalgic memories, with one user recalling their first voicemail message inspired by The Simpsons: "Do the message do do do do do do do do do do do do do do after the beep." This led to an amusing interaction with a persistent caller who kept replaying the voicemail for friends.

In a world where nuisance calls are all too common, this video provides a refreshing and humorous take on how to handle them. Whether through creative voicemails, dramatic sound effects, or simply not answering unknown numbers, the video and its comments section offer a variety of entertaining and effective strategies to escape nuisance callers.

Back when there were answering machines, my favorite message was "This is Suchandsuch, leave a message af...wait, no...I'm sorry, no, PUT DOWN THAT CHAINSAW", followed by ten seconds of me screaming over an audio sample from The Texas Chainsaw M****cre. I got SO many hang-ups.

That's a lot of work and AV equipment. I just let them listen in on the p*** I am currently watching off my s***ty laptop speakers, leave it upto them to decide whether to enjoy the experience or find something else to do with their life

If you don’t have a sound effects rig to hard, just hang up as *you’re* speaking - sounds like you were cut off.

Gotta cut it off so it sounds like the phone got smashed

Then a couple seconds of silence and a strained "Imma have to call you back."

I get out of any phone call by not picking it up. If I see a number instead of a name, I'm not answering it.
