Hello! Is blog-Stedman there?
No, he is working.
Oh! Then I will call him back another time!
Is this about a donation?
Yes!
I am his wife. I can handle this. I will give you $50.
Blog-Stedman gave $100 last year!
I will give you $50.
I am only taking matches or ups!
I said I would give you $50.
Your husband gave $100 last year!
I said I will give you $50. Are you going to take it?
Oh. I guess so…
And now for a totally random photo I took last week:
Wow, I do believe I’d have had to tell the witch that I’d be giving all my contributions to those who appreciate them and given not one red cent and made sure the Mr didn’t either. Sheesh, begging for $ then being an azz about it. Now I’ve heard it all.
I hate it when they call. If I wanted to give to them I will find them. I just don’t even like answering the phone anymore.
Oh, do they want to console people in their homes and offices?
We screen all our calls just in case it’s someone seeking a donation. The one that calls the most comes up as “Fund Raiser” on our Caller ID, though, so that makes it easy to avoid *grin*.
Oh is this the place that gives counsel to those who lose the spelling bee?!
And on solicitors–I swear they mark which family member gives–they always call and ask for Mike. And if he’s not home, they hang up 🙂
I would have docked it $10 every time they seemed to decline.
When did it become okay to be rude when asking for money????
That’s a hoot! I would have gone backwards, too, Angie!
LOL, I would have only offered $10
You are so much nicer than me! I would have said $50 and I will throw in a kid. They would never call me back.
gosh they should have been thrilled to not get the NO right off the bat! And I love the consolation! Ha…
Wouldn’t it have been rad if the call was being monitored for quality and training purposes and when he said that they’re only taking matches or ups, you hung up on him? oops.
That photo is priceless!
