I especially hate them if they call and expect you to contact them, but they just happen to be closed when their robo dialer calls you.  They have no respect for weekends or typical “downtime” hours.  They make themselves especially difficult to block, because they often rotate numbers — seemingly when they detect that they’ve been blocked.  Why we haven’t made it a law for these nuisance callers is beyond me.  I’m on the Do Not Call registry and yet this seems to encourage more crap calls.

Maybe I’m just getting old and am tired of being woken up early Saturday morning with a robo call telling me that I haven’t yet registered for my car warranty.  Ironically, the car they’re calling about hasn’t been in my possession for about five years now.  Sure, I could file a complaint and hope the company gets slapped with a fine, but is that worth my time and effort? I see lots of people filing complaints (or at least claiming to) and yet these companies still seem to be operating at full speed.  So either they’re not being fined or they have pockets so deep the fines are practically meaningless.

Not the best way to start one’s Saturday…
