Donation harassment

Date April 23, 2004

When you are called the fourth time by the same organization in two days, and they start begging — nay, demanding! — money, and you say to the person on the other line “I will report this as harassment,” do you expect them to continue with their sales pitch?

No, neither did I. But that’s what they did.

    i like to take up all their time, ask them questions, talk to them. do anything that will take up their time. time is money!

    Fred, no I did not report them. I still worked the chain of command, asking to speak to a supervisor. Since then they have not called back.

    TJ, the problem with that strategy is that my time is also money, and to waste theirs I have to waste mine.
