I’ve worked from home for three days this week. I am astonished to discover how many phone calls are made to the house. 90% are spam, of course. If it weren’t for needing a phone line for broadband i’d toss it out entirely. What annoys me is that when i, rarely, answer the phone and tell the caller, curtly, that i’m not interested in it, whatever it is, they seem surprised. Occasionally i just hang up, only to be rung again by the same guy complaining that i’d done so. there are one or two nice examples of responses to cold calling, of course.

Finally, the US has something on crappy old England. We’ve got a national non-solicitation list, for which one can register online in about five seconds.
:P
