Ask the person who calls people--telephone surveys

[Flyer]

@Seanette

And how is redialing the same number again and again NOT harassment?

@Lord_Feldon

I believe Flyer is in Colorado. Colorado’s harassment law says that “repeated communications at inconvenient hours that invade the privacy of another and interfere in the use and enjoyment of another’s home or private residence or other private property” are harassment.

If I’ve told you not to call me, doesn’t that mean I’ve defined all hours as inconvenient? And if you’re calling my phone, then by definition I don’t have full use or enjoyment of it at that time. (I have doubts that a court would see it that way, unfortunately.)

@zoid

Are you even as little ashamed of what you’re doing?

Do you realize it’s an invasion of peoples time and privacy?

Are you concerned only that your getting paid regardless of the frustration you cause other people?

Why in the world would I be ashamed? Research is important. (And yes, I’m serious.)

About “harassment”–#1, people choose to have a phone in their house/on their person. #2, they choose to answer it. It’s “harassment” that they voluntarily consent to.
