Call log:

11:06 AM, Pacific Standard Time, February 20th of the year 2010

Call Info:

Was informed at the beginning of the call that it would last no longer than 5 minutes. The female surveyor, who spoke with a hispanic/latino accent, asked me a series of questions regarding my thoughts and feelings on the swine flu, and for other personal information (examples: age, ethnicity, etc.), and after eating up 3 additional minutes of my time, after the first 5 had past (making that 8 minutes), had the nerve to ask me if I was located in the Los Angeles County. She had begun the conversation by informing me that she was calling on behalf of "such-and-such" to survey the residents of Los Angeles County. She started surveying me BEFORE she made sure that I was even ELIGIBLE to participate in the survey.

Extra Annoyances:

One of the questions that she had asked during the survey was if my lack of interest in the swine flu shots was due to INELIGIBILITY. When asked if she knew what number she had called, in response to her asking if I was located in Los Angeles County, eight minutes later, she briefly informed me that the numbers are randomly selected by some sort of automated system, so that she had no possible way to know who, or where she was calling, before she continued with the survey, and I abruptly ended the conversation.
