(8,554 posts)And I might add, that I, personally, may have contributed to the state gaining such acclaim.
I've recently returned from an eight month hiatus in my home state, where, while caring for my dying mother (who also was a country jake; she wisely taught me how to cuss at a tender age), I found that she had been besieged by every variety of fucking junk phone solicitations.
It was so damn bad that I had to take the phone off the hook, at first, but then I decided that they had no fucking right to plague a 95 yr old woman with their bullshit, so I proceeded to eliminate the asshats, one company at a time, (and, of course, they all were "recorded"
, giving each and every business, organization, or telemarketer a good piece of my mind before removing my mother's number from their call lists.
After several months (and I mean MONTHS; my list had 209 separate nagging entities on it), my conscious effort to teach those bastards to leave old folks alone resulted in a silent, very old dial phone hanging on the wall.
So, I think you all should thank me, clear out here in wa state now, for helping your state win this honor.
(disclaimer: this post has already been cleaned up and censored enough. If anyone thinks not, all I can say is, you should have been there!)
