contractor sent me a quote for a 4-5 figure job by linking to a Cloudflare site that blocks Tor.. LOL.. buy some stamps motherfuckers!

A builder who renovates homes sent me a huge quote for a big job by emailing me a link to a website apparently using some fancy platform they outsourced to for the simple job of giving a work quote. The idiots could not possibly fuckup such a simple task more badly. I try to visit the link and get a CF block page because I use Tor.

Must say, it’s sad that there are so few Tor users in the world that perhaps they never had a customer of a customer who uses Tor. And likely many Tor users don’t even bother with activism.

What I did (and what all should do)

Left them a voicemail saying “can’t reach your quote because I am blocked. Plz print it out, fold it up, stuff it into an envelope addressed to me, and pay the postage to send me the quote the old-fashioned way”, in so many words, b/c obviously they¹ are incompetent with technology. Will be extra funny if there are gen Z office workers who cannot handle the job of printing a doc and mailing an envelope in the post. I will be happy if they have to pay postage to send me a quote as a penalty for outsourcing to an incompetent tech supplier who cannot handle a simple job of passing along a quote.

WTF is wrong with people.

¹ by “they”, I mean both the contractor and the outsourced firm. But it’s fair enough that the contractor is incompetent with tech. Absolutely unacceptable that the firm they outsourced to is incompetent.
