Let us pretend for a moment that you believe that there is some huge government conspiracy against you. If you tell anyone this, they’re going to think you’re crazy. Unless you have proof, that is. Now, you need to collect said proof. Spy cameras are always good. Set lots of those up around your house. You’re also going to need to record all of your phone calls. After all, those can be full of useful evidence that you can show to the rest of the world.

Tapping your own phone line isn’t easy, unless you have the Olympus TP-7 Telephone Recording Device. This sucker is cheap (just $11) and takes no time to set up. Just plug one end into the microphone jack of any recording device. Then put the special earbud in the ear you use the phone with. It has a tiny microphone that will pick up the entire conversation. This thing is exactly what you need. Now you just have to figure out how to get it. After all, they’re watching your internet too, you know.

Usually this problem can be fixed by turning your cell phone’s ringer on. However, some people do still rely on landline phones for the majority of their calls. These people usually fall into one of two categories: the elderly, and those with poor cell phone reception. The former group is no doubt the one being targeted for this 95 Decibel Telephone Ringer.

95 decibel phone ringer

As you can imagine from the name, this device makes sure that no phone call goes unheard. It blasts out a ring that ranges from 80 to 95 decibels, which is enough to cause permanent damage to your ears with prolonged exposure. There’s also an LED that will flash brightly, just in case the sound doesn’t grab grandma’s attention. The device will set you back $50. Ear plugs (for those who can hear) sold separately.

This guy recorded his call with the AOL anti-cancellation nazis. It would be really funny if it weren’t so sad. Actually, it is really funny…
