Ah, sweet revenge! A Minnesota man phoned a company 100 times in two days after they plagued him with marketing calls.

Marc Plaisted of Duluth said he started hounding Minnesota Auto Glass because its telemarketers called him three times a day and cursed him when he told them to stop.

Owner Todd Creager of Wauseon says the disqualification was “handled without any compassion.”
