Real-estate agents car salesmen and automated answering of telephone calls ? ? Also Craigs List shoppers , people that are covered up with brand name clothing and posters that list every little detail of what they were using that day such as reel , rod , wt , fly , tippet but tomorrow I'm using ,,,,,,,,and ,,,,,,,,and............and {{{{{{{{{{{{{{ rod . So hung up on being number 1 they have to tell you everything about everything as long as it's expensive . Now what I do like is people that make good use of their money and buy cheaper products that work just as well and they rock it . Good on you guys ! lol

Frontier tv network salespeople coming to my door. I even put a "NO SOLICITING" sign on my front door and the idiots still ring my doorbell. I sent a certified letter to the president of Frontier telling him that if any of his people ever come on my property again that I would have them arrested for trespassing.

Robocallers for sure. Hey Ron, here's a little tale about the automated answering. Wang Laboratories initially came up the first automated switchboards and voicemail. They marketed this as a moneysaving feature to a lot of companies and they also used their own product to switch calls within their own company. That is until Dr. Wang received some angry letters from presidents of companies he had been doing business with. They stated they had tried to call him several times, but gave up due to having to listen to all the confusing instructions. They said if they had to go through this time consuming nonsense to talk to him, they would just take their business elsewhere. He got rid of the automated switchboard at his own company and rehired people to direct the calls.

Politicians and politics. You simply can't trust either one these days.
Working, not to make ends meet, but only to survive.
Reality shows. They have gone to an all time low.
The Kardashians. Need I say more?

Iasgair: Are you suggesting reality tv does not reflect reality? It must, or they couldn't call it that! "all time low"? Oh, my friend, they're not done yet. brent

Naked And Afraid is a reality show about two people, a man and a woman who don't know each, other being dropped naked in the jungle, on a mountain, on an island and they have to last for 21 days without any clothing. No, they don't show any "vital" things. I was quite reluctant to watch it the first time, considering what they put on tv nowadays, but found it somewhat interesting for a few episodes.
