fembot that tries to get me to sign up for a hotel package. We stayed a couple nights at a Marriott hotel in Kallispell, MT 2 years ago, and they have been hounding me ever since. It has almost reached the point of harassment. It's as bad as the ones for "account services" who want to try to get you to sign up for a credit card.

Yesterday, I was visiting a friend in a nursing home and one of their residents was trying to get rid of one of those callers. He was hollering "are you a real person or are you a machine?" I felt bad for him and wish I could have told him how to get rid of those annoying calls.
