    There's always the possibility it was a coincidence. Something else was happening, not as a result of the speaker being used but simultaneously. Like that scene in All of Me where the guru thinks flushing the toilet makes the phone ring.

      For me it's not flushing the toilet that makes the phone ring ... it's sitting on the toilet that makes the phone ring. Or getting into the shower ... or starting to solder something in a tight space ...

      It's annoying but I try not to worry about it -- most of the time my phone ringing is caused by a telemarketer who I'd rather not talk to. If it's anyone who is important they will call back.

        Stepping outdoors makes my phone ring. Soon as I'm out of earshot of the bell, someone calls, guaranteed. Often a customer who won't leave a message because they're worried it will bother me...

        Like you bob when I'm otherwise occupied inside the house, the caller is inevitably that nitwit who claims he's "with the police" begging for a cash donation, or dingaling claiming he's Microsoft and my computer is infected and "needs fix," or the subcontinental scammer who says he's IRS and wants me to buy I-tunes cards to settle my tax debt or I'll be arrested. People in need of summary execution in other words.
        This isn't the future I signed up for.

          I always mess with the guys that call to tell me my poot is infected. Usually it's someone with a thick Indian accent. I say things like "Oh no! Really? Ok, what should I do?" I fuss around like I'm looking for my password and start a conversation about some weirdness. "You know, I think it's in the other room, but my dog scares me. He doesn't see very well and sometimes he'll try to bite me if I go in there!" Insert more obtuse answers to whatever transpires next. Sometimes getting back around to the dog and maybe how bad he smells. Then I'll start calling them "lentil man" eventually they'll ask why and I explain that it's "Because you remind me of a small bean". I'm usually speaking in my best faux Indian accent by this time. Having morphed into it slowly. Then I'll ask them "Why are you like a small bean?" (Full goof ball Indian accent now)... etc. They often figure out I'm dicking with them early on, but not always.

            If your poot is infected, I don't know, I might think I'd go see a doctor about that...

            Okay, maybe we should at least try to aim in the general direction of the target now...

              Just to be clear...

              poot = computer

              All my other infections have been seen (and verified) by the appropriate medical authorities
