Automated phone CALLS?

This is something I find HIGHLY, and I mean HIGHLY(like bust out my nine put a cap y' ass) annoying.  Today I get a phone call from blah blah blah... I answer it.  It's a recording, "this is so and so, from what's it's nut, we've been trying to get a hold of you, please call us back at ***- ****, thank you." click.  WTF?!  You don't even have the time to pick up the phone an call me and you expect ME to call YOU back? Not likely.
