Fine (as long as you define a "right" as anything you can get away with without
fear of being arrested). So what's your problem? I have the right to tell you
to go to hell and to slam the phone down, right? What's that? You demand that
I be "polite"? You want me to say "Sorry I took so long to answer the phone,
but I was asleep. I'm afraid I don't want any of the worthless shit you're
selling. I'm sorry I wasted your valuable time." Sorry, Bob, you can't have
everything you want.

I see. You admit that it's an invasion, but say "Hey, that's your problem.
I don't make the rules, I only abuse them."

You're an even bigger asshole than I thought.
