Do Not Call Registry

What part of “Do Not Call” is so hard to understand?

I was bugged by the plethora of unsolicited calls I was getting, so I signed up to be on the “Do Not Call List”. Do I get golden silence? Do I receive calls only from friends and family? You guessed it – NO!

In fact, I swear I get more. What’s worse is they are mechanized. There is no one to talk to so I can tell them I am on the ‘list’ and not to call anymore.

The Do Not Call Registry mandates that if someone does call, you must report their phone number. These calls are from companies that block their number so you cannot see it nor can your caller ID see it. So what good is the list? Supposedly, they will back you if you can get the number. I have a friend that finally signed up to get their rugs cleaned just to get the number from the guy that came to the house to do the work.

What did Do Not Call do? Nothing. If you wanted them to act, you must take the company that is in the wrong – to court!

That crap really bugs me!
