Hello, is anyone home?

I keep getting calls from telemarketers lately. The other day, I was getting Sophie down for a nap, when the ringing phone woke her up. I answered the phone to get it to stop ringing and the guys goes straight into a sales pitch! I told him that he woke my baby up and did he seriously think he would make a sale after that, then hung up. Does anyone else have this problem? I've even signed up on the 'Do Not Call' list, but it seems like it doesn't work very well.

With all the groups that do market research nowadays, it seems like there would be a study or some statistics to show these companies that they are getting nowhere fast with these pesky phone calls!
