I had a very weird experience today. A telemarketer wanted a contribution - in this instance for fulfilling terminally ill children's wishes, yet not the same org that most people are familiar with, which was my first 'red flag - and I explained we don't do contributions by phone and asked her to mail me something.
She then began to argue with me about my reply. My thoughts: Do you want my money, because pissing me off is a sure way to NOT get it.
Oh, she was nasty! I didn't understand why, in her somewhat-scripted response, she didn't refer me to a website, rather than belaboring the price of postage. I finally had it and said, "Look, either send me something by mail or move on to your next call." She hung up.
Neat-o....
