They are ENTITLED.
You're having dinner. You're on your computer or watching TV. You're enjoying your wife and kids.
RING RING RING.
Huh? What? You stop everything, and either pick up the phone, or glance at your CALLER ID.
You don't recognize the number. OR, there's a charming "spoof" (tee-hee) and the number seems to be one you recognize, or has an important name like "Police Association."
Pick up?
Robot call. Or nobody on the line. Or some asshole demanding money. Or telling you that you won a free vacation so just recite your credit card number for verification.
Ha ha ho ho hee hee.
Look, they are ENTITLED to disturb you. They have PHONES. As one retard government jerk explained to me, "dey ah just tryhin' ta make munny faw dere fambalies."
And now there are Internet websites that make a business out of chronicling the pests. "WHO CALLED ME" and "800 NOTES" and "MR. NUMBER" and the rest. Oh, are we having fun NOW? We get to report our aggravations to some website that can't do a thing about it.
Except list the abuse and confirm the numbers that are used by PESTS.
The phone company makes money.
The Internet websites listing the pests make money.
The companies that make "illegal" devices people use to block pesty calls are making a fortune.
The government shrugs: "Gosh, we can't control technology. Let's pretend there's no such thing as hackers and phone pests. Put your name on our "don't call registry" and see what good it does.
Life in the 21st Century -- everyone's so fucking thrilled with the latest APP and the latest APPLE products and SAMSUNG shit and AMAZON fire.
What's a little invasion of privacy and constant phone pestery? You can't have everything.
