Phonebots

Got a call tonight. It went something like this:
Me: "Hello."
Line: "Hello." (before I'd finished my hello, so I said hello again)
Line: "Okay! Could I talk to the Lady of the House!" (overly cheerful male voice)
Me: "Who are you looking for?"
Line: "Okay! Could I talk to the Lady of the House!"
Me: "WHO are you looking for?"
Line: Repeats again, and I realize even the intonation is identical.
Me: HANGUP

The least they could do is give the thing more than one xnone. *sighs*

I really hate calls like that. The worst, though, are the ones where they call you, and then expect you to hold until they're ready to talk.
