No one calls my house number to talk to me anymore. That doesn't really bother me, I've long gotten over my need to talk on the phone for hours on end. Instead, the people who call my number call for the neighbors, or relatives or what I can only believe are random people who once listed my phone number on a credit application. I find this absolutely, amazingly obnoxious. Yet, I usually answer the phone when these people call, so that I can politely let them know that I don't know my neighbors, I don't talk to my relations, and seriously, I've had this phone number for the past 2 years. Its not my fault that your files aren't updated, and I have no freaking clue who you are talking about!
I do not understand why on earth people think its ever acceptable to be rude to the person that they've inconvenienced with their phone call. I pay my bills. I'm not the bad guy here. I don't know my neighbor's first or last names, and I don't know if they even have a phone of their own, but if they aren't answering your calls... that really isn't my problem. My problem is some schmuck who thinks I live in my neighbor's back pocket and that I know their lives. I don't. I don't want to. Just like those random relatives... I don't know their business either. Its not like they send me a financial statement with the occasional Christmas card. Again, I don't even know where these people work, or what their zip code is, why are you calling me??
I don't want to take a survey at 9:00 pm.
I don't donate money to random causes over the phone, and I don't really care if my lack of donating over the phone means the terrorists have won.
Perhaps this all falls under the general heading of "people suck."
