Me too. I won't give details about my job, but will say that I call people all day. (I am *NOT* a telemarketer...id rather slice my own throat open. I call people I actually have business with...as in not soliciting or selling anything). I consistently get treated rudely by people for absolutely no reason other than having the audacity to call them...and I'm just talking about the people who picked up the phone! Often times it's reception/answering service...as in its their job to be polite. People suck sometimes.

Down vote? Really? Huh...wonder what is was I said that seemed off enough for a down vote..

It's easy to ignore a phone call but for all I know the guy knocking on my door has a family freezing to death because he broke down on the side of the road, and when I expect something like that and open the door to find someone trying to sell me something, I suddenly get the urge to get to kno them, find out where they sleep, and knock on their door at 3 am trying to sell em a calendar for charity

They are voting YDI because the OP deserved to get yelled at for waking up the guy working nights. Not that complicated.

Yes but the op didn't know. No one is all seeing and all knowing like your neighborhood psychic.

Well then see boner's comment about harassing people. I think some people might have had their minds made up which way they were voting after the first line of the FML.

Agree with 63; if you come to my door uninvited and it's not some sort of emergency I'm going to be irritated. I wouldn't throw things and call names but if I did YDI.

He's doing charity work, it's not his real job. Are you saying he should quit his position working for that charity because heartless people like Darwin03 doesn't want then to annoy their precious alone time and keep their money to buy presents instead of helping the needy?

Telemarketers are just doing their jobs.

The_A_Teen; yes I am saying they should quit their position for that charity. If he wants to help the needy their are plenty of soup kitchens and other charitable position that actually make a difference without intruding on people to beg for money.

Right because those are the only two options: donate to OP's door-knocking charity or keep your money and waste it. Grow up, please. You don't even know what OP's charity was. Not every "charity" is a worthy cause that helps the "needy". Secondly, Darwin03 and many others might actually use tbeir salaries to support themselves and their families and not have any to spare. Or they might have their own worthwhile causes they support.
