Seriously, I just got a phone call and before I even had time to say "Hello?," I heard a monotone female voice proudly saying "you-are-in-contact-with-the-first-interactive-food-and-health-whatever the hell it said after that."
Seriously, those companies making ads and surveys by phone don't even bother hiring people from Madagascar anymore apparently. And do they expect me to actually stay in line if I'm not even talking to a human being?!
Not to mention it's really f'n creepy. Someone calls and you immediately hear a robot talking in a monotone voice that wants you to take a survey.

Next time it calls say "Klaatu Barada Nikto!"
That will stop them from calling back.

Did you just get a phone for the first time or did robo calls just make it to France?

Welcome to the 21st Century. It stinks. We were promised flying cars, round buildings, laser guns, hoverboards, week-ends on the Moon and s***. And instead we get robot stalkers. |

I answered the phone to a sound of a ships horn once, hoooonnnnnkkk!
Once I'd gotten over that it turned out I'd won a free cruise ship holiday, all I had to do was pay a small admin fee.

Perhaps ROB got the money from his latest game appearances and has made a living calling unsuspecting people with free offers.
