automated solicitor VOICEMAILS?!!?!?
Are you fucking kidding me? As if it isn’t bad enough to get 5 calls a day when I get home from work from solicitors, for the last year or so, I am getting VOICEMAILS from MACHINE PEOPLE!!!
Do they really think they are going to sell anything? Has anyone ever gotten a message from a machine person, and then buy something from them?
Even worse, is when they aren’t even selling anything. Just some bullshit thing where they just want to piss me off.
Whatever. I am sick of having to delete 15 of these things a week. At least they make it a hot female machine voice.

I got a few this week, but it was because we have a city council election tomorrow…
I seriously get like 5-10 a week. I don’t check my voicemail often, so when I finally do at some point during each week, I have to listen to all these stook voicemails. And since my phone company is dumb, I cannot delete each message until it is completed. And most of these things are over a minute long. That’s a long time to wait, esepcailly when you don’t know how long it is going to be.
I’m guessing this is a land-line? I only have a cellphone and never get these.
When I lived in this one apartment in Maryland, our house phone magically received calls from a hearing aid company’s 1-800 number (we never knew why). Every day we’d come home to a voice mailbox full of panicky, nervous elderly people screaming into the phone at the top of their lungs.
I get a few calls a week on my cell phone, but I don’t answer area codes I don’t know so it’s not a problem there. However, I get TONS of these calls at work. My desk phone’s caller ID doesn’t work. The only calls I get are from the office manager or from these automated things. It’s crazy.
I find them sort of funny, because it’s sometimes “You’ve been prequalified for financing for a NEW COMPUTER!!!” when I work at a company that’s bought 100+ laptops since the beginning of the year. The other one is always “OMGZ THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY ON YOUR CAR IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT NOOOEESSS!!!” ..my car is sixteen years old. My car does not give a shit about manufacturer’s warranties.
Both of them are pretty clearly idiotic scams, so I just hang up.
I GOT THREE CALLS FROM THESE TODAY. I actually answered one because it was an 856 number. FUCK.
