Oh, forgot to say that newspapers are allowed to do it, but since they usually stick to once or twice a year, I don't care.
Sometimes I even bite - 3-6 months of newspapers for half price of another paper than the usual gives variation

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I swear to God this is the truth.
I get an automated call, and I'm listening as it leaves the message, "Press 2 if you're not at home".
Whoever it is has called numerous times.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I had another 'withheld' call this evening and I thought I'd pick it up just in case it was something important. Nope, someone trying to sell me a new f**king phone. NO! I'VE GOT ONE! As soon as the Indian accent kicked in, I realised I shouldn't have picked it up. Never again...Originally posted by Combat Ingrid

PH what I do is be VERY selective about who you give your mobile # to, strictly friends and family only, then only answer the home phone if I recognize the number.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

That way I know if its family or friends and it's important they can get hold of me.Comment

Thing is I get media calls, and they always show up as unlisted too. So I can't ignore those calls, I have to answer them. They might be the most important calls I get.

Yep, people monitoring the software screwed up if you were left on hold for 10 minutes. They do try to tweak it down to a couple of seconds but the longer the period on hold is more profitable for them in terms of effeciency. The really good dialers will adjust fast enough but sometimes needs a human to overide since sometimes the trend changes to rapidly.
The worst thing is if you pick up, even if it disconnects, the software now knows you're home and will schedule a call back within a determined length of time. They try to have at least a couple of minutes pass so you don't connect the two calls. The norm is not to redial the call until an operator is available since there's a much higher probability that you will answer. (since you answered the first time)
Thanks to caller ID, more customers are starting to add 2+2
The 'hang on for an important message' is really tacky.
And yes there is a phone zapper that will drop most of these types of code. The usually sell for around 50 US dollars.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

My favorite reply, when they nab me, is when they ask "How are you doing today, Mr. Shawnmmcc." I reply "I having an absolutely miserable day. What do you want." in my short, no nonsense Air Traffic voice. They almost always hang up.
