One of the things that irritate me the most is getting unsolicited phone calls. This has become the norm since we moved into our apartment here in the US. The previous tenants apparently had some unfinished business with their car loans, credit card accounts or banks, because I keep getting unending calls reminding me to renew this and register that.
Most of these calls do not have a hot-blooded human on the other end of the line, rather they are all recorded messages. So if I were to hang up, I’ll have to endure a repeat of the call a couple of days later. Therefore, I have to wait for the automated message to finish playing (which sometimes takes a long long time), and hope that there is an option to select to stop further calls from the number.
Phone Number Reporting would certainly come into handy here, provided I have caller ID on my phone. Then I would be able to know where the call originates from, and hence be able to gauge what to expect when I pick up the phone.
Thankfully, the number of these irritating calls are on the decline now, and I can look forward to spending an uninterrupted hour on the couch watching TV and drinking some hot chocolate.
