Annoying as heck!

Wow, that's even better than the automated calls from my school that said "Your son or daughter missed one or more periods of school today."  No call-back number, no explanation WHICH kid or which periods.  My brother, sister, and I are all pretty close in age, and none of us would skip classes - so it was always a hassle to figure out whose teacher forgot to turn in the attendence records.  (Of course, if I stopped by the school office, they couldn't give me any information if the call wasn't about me . . . so all three of us had to stop by, each time.)

We used to get automated calls saying Susie Q had not been to school that day.

So what?   We don't even know who she is!

It only took 3 calls to the school to get the calls to stop.
