I like getting phone calls from people I know (and like). What annoys me is when my phone rings at 8:55 PM and it's a survey taker acting like they know me. They use my first name and start the conversation off with "Hey, (my name)!! How are you?!" Trying to make me think it's a friend or someone I know. It's only then that they tell you they're doing market research and would just love my opinion. Wish I could come up with a decent "opinion" so they'd stop calling me!
