Called today, asked for someone in our household. When I asked him to hold, he scoffed and casually said 'Sure, why not?'. In my mind I'm just wondering how the Toronto Police were so laid back. When I asked to take a message, he asked if I was over 18. Said yes and he begun to talk about a Christmas party for underprivileged children and asked if I could donate $60 for two kids or $25 for one kid. Not knowing how to politely reject this guy, I told him I wasn't sure and he asked if I had a job. As if assuming I was over 18, I had a job. Said no and said he'd call back. I think I'll fart in the phone and tell him I'll donate that the next time they call.
Thank-you - called the number given and was taken off the list by an automated service. These police and fire associations are driving me crazy continually calling after I have said "No".
For the last month I've been getting calls from 416-628-4564. They call any time of the day, including at 9 pm. A real nuisance. I know everyone is trying to do a good deed, but I'm already committed to a number of charity organizations.
