I dont use the do not call list for the simple fact that it's backwards bullshit. It's governments job to regulate businesses, not to regulate individual citizens. The big business/private citizen flip flop has gone too far.

Yesterday I got a call, I say hello, the woman first does what they all do these days; they demand to know if you are the person they think you are (no hello, no "i'm so and so calling from such and such") so I decide to confirm who I am. She says "I'm from the phone company"... then she says she's going to help me save money, lol. So I asked her WHAT phone company, she rattles off some unknown name, then I asked her how she knows how much I pay to claim she's going to save me money, she says the average price people pay per minute in my area, I say well I dont pay that much, so how can you save me money. She stammers that Verizon has authorized them to save their customers money, and VERIZON has provided the list of customer numbers and VERIZON this and VERIZON that. I said just shut the hell up and process my do not call request and I'll deal with verizon as I see fit, and that I was sure the FTC would disapprove of their deceptive practice of claiming to be THE phone company. She hung up.
