Hopes Dashed

A few days ago I expressed the hope that the political phone calls would abate for awhile.  No such luck.  Less than three days after the polls closed

*ring*

"Hello."

"Hi, I'm Eric and I am calling on behalf of Governor Pence's campaign.  May I ask you a few questions about the November election?"

"No, you may not."

Ugh. The only calls I get on the house phone is sales and political calls. I don't disconnect because I don't want this junk on my cell.

We don't seem to get those kind of calls, I wonder why? OTOH - if I want my non-existent carpets cleaned...

If we don't recognize the number, we don't answer the call. Voice mail is our filter.

Lin, works about the same here.

Grace, at least we don't get the carpet calls. (Oops, did I jinx that?)

Chuck, I don't answer any number I don't recognize on the cell, but I tend to pick up the house phone-- years of conditioning.
