I hate automated survey calls: they are the spam of the telco world. I used to just grumble and hang up on these calls. Now, I am going to skew their results -- and I encourage everyone else to do the same. If these people can't get good results, they will be forced to stop doing this. Last night, while Jacob was sleeping, I received one. It was a survey on my spending habits and what I thought about the economy. For the survey, I was a 66-year old "other race" male who is unemployed, spending more and more money per month and thinking the economy is going to hell in a hand basket. It's just more fun messing with their metrics.
