Telemarketers have been around for quite some time. In fact, since the No Call registry, my irritating calls have gone down considerably. MY complaint has always been the "friends" who are stuck in traffic of idly shopping and call you to pass the time. Time you need to do your housework or other chores. Just becasue YOU are stuck in traffic does not mean I have to the time to chat. THAT is my biggest complaint about Mobil phones.

I thought cell phone were off limits to all telemarking. Apparently not until they get caught.42Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14655107378533032598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-37330829510991980322012-11-12T19:32:40.782-05:002012-11-12T19:32:40.782-05:00Yes, the phone was such a great part of growing up...Yes, the phone was such a great part of growing up!

I'm so fed up with the constant automated or marketing calls that lately I've been unplugging my phone when I'm at home. <br /><br />I sure do miss the old days of being a kid and racing my brothers & sisters to the phone when it rang--it was usually Grandma or someone else good to talk to :)ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-88450590356842911482012-11-12T17:15:51.920-05:002012-11-12T17:15:51.920-05:00The phone is definitely no fun anymore.

When you receive a call, it's rarely someone you want, or its someone you know calling you every two seconds with every little thing. A phone call used to be a treat. Now it's just another annoyance. And people spend so much time on the phone that interacting in person is hindered. For all the phone has brought, somehow I feel less close with the advancement of cellphones.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097441437159417314noreply@blogger.com
