Somebody mentioned nomorobo on the last telemarketer thread here. I googled it and found out my phone company, Verizon, actually recommends it. I just signed up last night, so we'll see if I keep winning those cruises.
I used to get mad about reports of the "latest poll results," thinking "Well, nobody ever asked me."
When I finally sat through a "poll" call, it was clearly an attempt by one candidate to smear a rival by introducing negative talking points. They would ask questions like "Did you know candidate X has intimate knowledge of hogs?" Then, a few questions later, "Considering what you now know about candidate X and hogs, how likely would you be to vote for him?"
