Question: Who the in their right mind listens to Robo Calls?
I have caller id. Robo Calls always shows up as blocked. I never answer calls that are blocked.

Why anybody would want to sit there and listen to a machine talking smack, about anybody for that matter, is beyond me.

But then again, it just could be me!!!

1. I was thinking the exact thing this morning!
I think the only way robocalls get heard is on the news when the pundits play them!

4. and the mentally ill
They used to get my Grandmothers once in a while. One suffers from dementia and the other is getting a little senile. We had to set up extra phone protections for them both.

6. When I get a robo call from our repub congresswoman
I start screaming into the phone because I hate her so much. Boy if she ever called me live she'd get an ear full.
