[speaker002:] well let's see as far as I'm
[speaker001:] so so what gets you
[speaker002:] well the thing I think that annoys me the most is I have I have young children a baby in the house and and inevitably as soon as they're asleep someone calls on the phone trying to sell me something and I think that that is probably the most
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] aggravating um it you know it invades my time I'm the one that pays for the phone um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] if I wanna buy something I'll take the initiative and and go find it you know and it that just really does aggravate me um what do you think
[speaker001:] well I mean I that's exactly the kind of thing I would have said although in my case it's my wife and I both work we come home and just as we're preparing dinner or eating dinner the phone rings and it's one solicitation call after another and
[speaker002:] you know your time is is valuable and
[speaker001:] yeah it's it's like you say very annoying and um why why do we let this happen
[speaker002:] oh I that's that's interesting I uh uh the market seems to just be growing too I I guess enough people are not speaking out I'm not speaking out that's for sure I just get aggravated about it and
[speaker001:] would would you mean if you could legislate something what would you legislate
[speaker002:] I really don't know I'm I'm not into um heavy government legislating legislating of a lot of different areas but I I don't know I just I do particularly find it annoying um I really not sure I haven't given that a lot of thought if if it should should go you know to be
[speaker001:] yeah it it seems it seems to me that we should have the ability to designate with the phone company that we don't wanna receive calls like that
[speaker002:] well that yeah that might
[speaker001:] and the people making these calls would be obliged to compare compare
[speaker002:] identify themselves yeah
[speaker001:] the their lists that they're gonna call against this list of people who don't wanna be called
[speaker002:] right that would be a an an interesting ways yeah
[speaker001:] um and that that way those who want it can have it and those who don't want it don't have to have it
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] sort of like an unlisted number where you haven't gone to the trouble of enlisting yourself except even unlisted numbers aren't safe now because they have these things just sort of dial through all the numbers
[speaker002:] right just oh is that right oh well that's interesting
[speaker001:] um automatically and
[speaker002:] and they just get everybody huh oh boy
[speaker001:] bright
[speaker002:] well I I do wish that it would stop on my end because it it seems to happen at the worst possible moments
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and I I guess the the next one is is door-to-door solicitors I don't mind the children when they're selling things for school I have kids and you know that's just kind of part of it but when
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah
[speaker002:] it's adults selling a variety of things and especially when men arrive at about ten o'clock in the morning um that really it just makes you not feel particularly safe and it's annoying as well
[speaker001:] um-hum yes and these and these people may in fact be just looking to steal find an unoccupied house to rob
[speaker002:] right you just you really don't know so I I find myself being a little a bit abrupt and a little bit ruder than than I might normally be but I I do feel like it's a an invasion of my space and uh
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah what about these telephone callers sometimes they're door-to-door but usually they're telephone callers who who want you to basically help them fill out a questionnaire
[speaker002:] I've never quite understood the purpose of that yeah I uh
[speaker001:] well I think these people are hired by from from different sources
[speaker002:] just to keep
[speaker001:] um with you know and so therefore there's no one answer but but yeah sometimes it's a market survey basically it's a market survey but they never say who who they're really working for or what you know what what what questions are you know
[speaker002:] just a survey yeah there've been a couple of times when the it the uh whatever the subject was I guess caught my interest and I went along with it and then there have been several times when I just said well I just really don't have the time
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] you know to deal with it at that moment
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] but um I don't get too many of those I've had just a few
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] um generally someone's trying to sell me something or
[speaker001:] yeah right well and sometimes that's this is just the lead in to a sales pitch too
[speaker002:] right right
[speaker001:] other times it's you know wasting your time to collect the data they want for their
[speaker002:] right with
[speaker001:] marketing purpose for which if they would just pay me enough money I would be willing to consider but but a dollar isn't it you know it's uh
[speaker002:] yeah that's right oh well
[speaker001:] and I also sort of worry that you know that sometimes people give away personal information um when when the call comes and and they uh uh you know sort of seductive to you know somebody's asking me my opinion on all of these things and so I start answering and then you you know you go down a path um
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and you don't know where it's gonna end uh
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] in fact you don't even know what you've eventually you know the totality of what you've revealed and you know
[speaker002:] well we that's true
[speaker001:] this isn't you know probably most likely not to going to be used against you but it could and
[speaker002:] yeah you just never know I guess
[speaker001:] and that seems to be something that should should really be outlawed
[speaker002:] that yeah I I
[speaker001:] because it's subject to abuse and it
[speaker002:] asking for information is is I can't really see that I think they ought to if if if if nothing else they ought to spend money for a postage stamp and you know when it arrives at your house oh I
