Reply #8: I got one Saturday I couldn't get rid of

[tularetom]

Pushed the off button, put the phome in the cradle, nothing worked. It was a "telephone town hall" with some asshole running for Lt Gov of CA, and finally I hit the pound key as instructed to get in the queue to talk to the candidate - after 10 minutes some woman came on the phone - a screener or something. By then I was super pissed. What if I was having a medical emergency and couldn't get a line because your dumbass phone call was tying up my line?, I yelled. What if my friggin house was on fire and I couldn't get through to the fired department? The line went silent and when I pushed the off button again I got a dial tone. By Monday I had pretty much forgot about it but now I'd like to know who to bitch to.
