When I got my current car, I subscribed to Sirius satellite radio. I’d never tried it before, and it seemed pretty cool at first, so I bought one of their 1-year subscriptions. I kept it for two full years, but it steadily got worse as time went on, and I decided to cancel about six months ago. Don’t get me wrong – it wasn’t terrible; I just didn’t think it was worth the money.

For the past couple of weeks, Sirius has been calling me to try and convince me to sign back up, and it is by far the most annoying telemarketing ever. First of all, they keep calling. Second, they’re calling my cell phone number. And finally, the calls just play an automated recording when I answer the phone. It’s one thing when I call my cable or phone company and they have an automated system to route me to the right person, but Sirius is using one to call me, which is completely unacceptable. They called me today, and this time I hit zero to try and complain to somebody about it. But the automated system put me on hold, and my patience ran out after 30 seconds, so I hung up. There needs to be a “Fuck that, you called me” button. Freaking ridiculous.
