....And don't even get me started on phoning and having to listen through 10 minutes of Voicemail Hell while trying to contact a live, helpful, capeable person at any of the following places;

A. the water department
B. the phone company (any of them!!!!)
C. the electric company ...in almost any town USA.

It's getting out of control.

ALSO... if another salesperson calls me from India about my purchasing a protection program /or whatever the heck it is/ for my Mastercard, I'm going to loose it! It happens every day!! I've asked them to remove my name from the list. But no. So now I never answer them "in order of the script they read" - because they really don't know English very well and I start asking them lots of questions i.e., "where is this calling center?" They never answer. I stay on and mess with them at this point. Yes, sounds mean but, honestly...I'm tired of US companies outsourcing jobs and how bad these telemarketers handle us -their customers.

Whew! That felt good! Thanks.
