1. I got the same call (twice) today.

...as well as a call from a human from the DNC.

Maybe the computer call was a Democratic Party thing?

2. Better watch doing that, man.
The last time Mr. Nownow did it, the little prick/prickette on the other end got so pissed off, s/he called us, nonstop, every twenty minutes for two solid days. Mr. Nownow didn't listen long enough to find out what company it was, and the number didn't list on the caller I.D. (came up as 'unavailable' and we don't have 'call block' here), so there was no way to report them. We just had to leave it alone, and not pick up the phone unless we knew who was calling. Eventually, the little turd wore out his/her 'redial' finger and quit calling.

3. I HATE that crap!!!!
Telemarketers are just trying to earn a living--but those damn computer generated calls just really piss me off. I kid you not, if I could evaporate that stupid computer on the other end, I'd do it and then LMAO.

ARrrrgh!!!


As for the twit that kept on calling, I think I'd get the smoke detector down and push the test button for him to hear EVERY time the little SOB called. It doesn't take many times of that happening before they get the message.

4. You always were pretty high-strung, ya bastid
I knew you'd snap one of these days. Who knew something as innocuous as a computerized telephone call would do it? I should hire a telemarketer to bug you.
