I don't see why a robocall is more annoying than a live call. The only time I get annoyed by robocallers is when they expect me to hold for a live person, or else ask me to call a number. No. If you want to talk to me, be there when I answer the phone, or at least by the time your robot finishes the standard greeting. You called me, remember, so you're the one who wants to tell me something, not the other way around. I may be very interested in what you have to say, but without knowing what it is I'm not interested in waiting for you to pick up, and I'm certainly not interested in calling you back. But ordinary robocallers that just give you a message and hang up? Not only don't they bother me, but I don't understand why others object to them. Gnomi's objection is to the noise they make, which live callers make too.
