Got a call yesterday in the middle of the day: "Hey, it's Patrick from Google, is it okay for you to talk now?" I said it wasn't, and he said he'll send an email. The email was "so yeah, when is a good time for you to talk". No intro, no stating of the topic (turned out to be recruiting.)

So these assholes assume they own everyone's time and could could cold-call people and expect they'll jump out of their pants just to talk them.
