Glitch has PG County School System robocalling parents at 4:30AM to tell them that school is delayed because of the snow this week.

One pissed off parent returns the favor the next day, having a robocall center call the school board members and superintendant at home at 4:30 AM with his complaint.

"This is a Prince George's County School District parent, calling to thank you for the robocall yesterday at home at 4:30 in the morning. I decided to return the favor. While I know the school district wanted to ensure I drop my child off two hours late on a snow day, I already knew that before I went to bed. I hope this call demonstrates why a 4:30 a.m. call does more to annoy than to inform.''

It ended: "Quit robocalling parents at 4:30 in the morning or at least allow us to opt out of these intrusive calls."
