And don't forget...

The random wrong numbers. And, then there's the annoying habit of some bosses to call you when you're off the clock. Yes, it'd be a truly venal act if mobile companies charged you for answering your electric ball and chain. Maybe if the world forgot about these foul instruments of torture then the global warming problem might be solved or something.

And I am reminded that (time for a vent) there's the deliberately annoying calls by teenage tossers who think that nothing can touch them because they're not adults yet and that the law will let them off with a warning, or a "family conference" or some other inane bs. Sorry about the last bit, but that has happened in our street, although that stopped soon after his Mum tossed his scooter in the river when she found out! The local constabulary were hugely amused, or so it appeared. I guess they knew of the miscreant.
