Recruiters who act like that annoying high school date

Anyone get those? The ones who call your cell at 8 a.m., before you're even at work (or at 7:15 p.m.), leave a message, then call your home phone, your work phone, leave messages, then can't take a hint when you don't call back immediately (like within 15 minutes), so they keep calling, and calling, and calling. Sometimes they may back it up with an email, "ARE YOU IN TODAY, PLEASE CALL ASAP!!!!"

When you do get around to calling them back, they panic and say things like, "Oh God, I thought you weren't in today!" or "Were you going to call us?" (shame on you for having the audacity to eat breakfast, go for a cup of coffee, or ride the subway, or god forbid..DO YOUR WORK!).

One woman did this, and when I said that first I was on the subway (no cell service) then getting breakfast, she wanted to know "Oooh, what'd you have for breakfast? I mean the other day, I went and got a bagel, y'know? And it had like SO MUCH CREAMCHEESE..."). She didn't even have any credible job opportunities, but she did sound like the girl from high school who NEEDS the guy and follows him everywhere chattering away, as he studiously avoids her.
