I’ve received over eight robocalls today alone reminding me there’s an election. Fuck all of you. The price for civic involvement should not be constant harassment. I’ve voted in every single election I possibly could since I was eighteen. I am thirty-nine and I may just sit this one out because I am so goddamned disgusted. Take your prerecorded phone messages and go fuck off. ---

I don’t think that political and charity calls should have been exempted from the Do Not Call list. Your political freedom of speech is not abridged if i don’t want you annoying me at home. That is all. ---

It seems to me that you only have the right to be disgusted at those phone calls if you have actually voted. ---

Nonsense, as an American I have the right to be disgusted by everything that happens including those things I only imagine happen, and including anything that I worry \*might \*happen. ---

I work at home. I have to answer the phone because a supervisor may be calling. The supervisor’s names and numbers vary from day to day and sometimes come up (just like these idiot calls) as unknown name / unknown number. I have the right to be in my own home without being bugged like this. My phone line is for my use and my use alone. We left the house for an hour yesterday to attend a parent-teacher conference. There were THREE calls waiting on my answering machine yesterday when we returned. FYI, I begged the fucking Dems to cut it out last year with these stupid calls. They PROMISED me I would be left alone. Apparently not. GAH! ---

The (estimated) score for Annoying As Hell Phone Calls for the past few days is: Republican Fuckwads: 26 calls Democrat Dickweeds: 21 calls Of course, no matter who wins, we all lose. ---

Well I did my civic duty, held my nose and voted. But John Corzine still sucks ass. Every single Democratic organization is getting a not so nice letter from me tomorrow. ---

I have totally solved all this robocall, etc. nonsense. Caller ID. If it says “Unknown Name”, let it ring. If it says “Unknown Number”, let it ring. If it says “No Data”, let it ring. If it says, “Toll Free Number”, let it ring. If it says “Anonymous Caller”, let it ring. This has probably saved me at least a half hour a day over the years explaining no I don’t want to contribute to the Fireman’s Fund, I don’t want to contribute to Gun Rights, I don’t want to vote for Debovilar Gagnasty for dogcatcher, and so forth. The first two or three times the sound of a ringing phone would bother me a bit, but not for years. In fact, I quite enjoy it now! And I have never had any of my friends or acquaintances complain that they have not been able to get me on the telephone. I never talk to anybody I don’t want to talk to and am no longer a slave to that diabolical instrument called a telephone. Caller ID is GOD!!! ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > What the fuck does this have to do with it, dumbshit? My guess is the Democrats can get away with anything annoying since they’re on the side of the angels. You can imagine how persuasive I find this argument. ---

I am actually glad I voted. That corrupt right wing jackass Christie won in my state. Thankfully I can legitimately say it is not my fault. ---

You get calls from both parties? That sucks. We only get calls from Republicans. And the Sierra Club, who is obviously confused.
