@JamesWNeal
I have told this story many times: I worked on a survey which "revealed" that people were afraid of crime and didn't go out in the evenings.

We conducted the survey by calling people … on their home phones … in the evenings.

@JamesWNeal It was quite a few years ago - I had just gotten 3-way calling - but I got a telemarketing call, so I said "can you hold?" and forwarded him to "Dial a Prayer" (it would take a miracle to get anything from me).. He called me back anyway, asking about the religious recording. I explained what I had done. He said, "Why are you wasting my time?" I replied, "You called me; I didn't call you."

@JamesWNeal I have one answer for all pollsters: “Not interested.” (Only because I reserve “F*ck Off!” for “Microsoft Support” call centres in India.)

@JamesWNeal I get so many spam calls and business service cold calls that my phone blocks all unknown callers and doesn’t ring my phone unless they’re on my contact list.
