Stop calling me!!!
I used to give blood pretty regularly, but my blood pressure kept getting higher and higher until I finally couldn’t give anymore until I started medication.
So now I’m on medication and started giving again, though not as often (mainly due to living in a new area, as well as laziness).
My last time trying to give (late last year) I was turned away because they were too busy. No biggy, I’ll come back later.
Well, now I’m overseas for work (since January) and I have been getting bombarded with phone calls from the Red Cross.
The problem is that I have my personal cell phone here with the AT&T World Connect (or something) plan, meaning I can get calls, but it’s going to cost me $2 a minute :eek: So I keep the phone on for emergencies, and will pick up if I see it’s family or other people I may need to hear from.
But otherwise, if it rings, I just dismiss the call. If the call results in a voicemail, I just check it on my office phone.
Well, one number keeps calling: the Red Cross. Over and over. I see the number, hit dismiss, then they redial me :mad:
After weeks of this I finally picked up last night. I politely told the woman that I’m overseas and please stop calling me. She kept trying to drag the conversation out. Gah! Finally I told here to take me off the list completely and do not call again and I hung up.
Within 30 seconds the Red Cross called back :mad:
I hit dismiss.
They called again!
What the hell!?
If they call again, what do I do? Don’t they understand that calling like that is going to cause the opposite reaction and make me not want to deal with at all?
