My SIL got a call tonight. She made up all kinds of bs. I just hang up on them.
I've only been called by pollsters twice in my life. First one was a robo-pollster (you know, the press [1] for Yes, or [2] for No kind); except if you pushed the button for the candy-date OTHER than the one who was commissioning the poll, it would hang up on you. The second time was a live pollster who did the same thing; answer the question other than the with the answer they wanted, and the pollster killed the circuit.
Yeah; you couldn't possibly convince me that polls are worth a beer-fart in a F5 whirl wind.
