Prank on Debt Collector. Somebody's Got to do it.

When I was 19 years old I applied and interviewed with a collections company.  I didn't really have a huge understanding of what collections involved, but I needed a job and I was glad to get a call back.  I didn't get the job (I'm a poor interviewee) but looking back I'm so glad I didn't. 

At that point I felt like I had blown my chance at college and that I needed to get a job and stick with it.  I had no plans to go back to school because I had been there and done that.  I feel that if I had landed a job I would probably still be working there and hating it. 

And how depressing would it be to work in collections for years?  I know I would hate it.  Your job is basically to hassle people who don't want to talk to you and ruin their day.   And it's kind of sad because these collections agents are just doing their jobs.

But I found this video where this guy turns the tables on a collector that calls him. Not hilarious, but kind of amusing.

He says: "...but they're eating people!"
She says: "...well this debt is going to eat up your credit report if you don't take care of it."
