Also., you think it really bothers them to have you unhook them for 4-5 minutes...they still get paid, your just wasting the bosses time.
There is cities across North America where the only opportunity for many is to work in call centers. Im not saying its adequate for adult programs to call people but to blatently fuck around with people who are trying their best to feed the families BY WORKING is retarded. Atleast they have enough work ethic to get a job, they could just as easily be on welfare and not calling you.

You make a very good point. And, when some stranger comes walking up my driveway, dropping off a flyer or wanting to give me a spiel, I ask for a phone number.
And, then I call their employer and tell them they have been warned, since it is not legal to shoot them or have them arrested for just walking up my driveway. I have to tell the door to door sales person to desist from stepping onto my property and if they fail to leave....THAT is when I can call the police and have them arrested for trespassing.
I understand people have to work and I give credit to everyone for trying to carve out a living. No, it's not their responsibility. It's the companies for whom they work and that is who I target.
But, damned if it doesn't piss me off when, out of the corner of my eye, I see some stranger walking up my driveway. Where are MY rights to privacy. This is MY property. I didn't invite them to come to my door at 9 p.m. or 7 a.m. or on Saturday or Sunday or any damned time, for that matter.
I resent these little intrusions, regardless of the reason.
