> On the other hand, no telemarketer antic gets me steamed quite like those people who call and ask for someone by their first name. "Hi there, can I talk to Jane?" It's a pretty inept attempt to make the person who has picked up think it's a personal friend calling, especially since you can sometimes hear other telemarketers making calls in the background.

Especially for those of us who go by our middle names. Let's just put it this way: I know anyone who refers to me as 'William' probably isn't a close personal friend. :)
