Pet peeve - phone call solicitations

[Asiel]

I get at least two calls a week from solicitors but I hang up on them. We donate to the charities of our coice and never to phone solicitations. I tried to get my number off the lst and it seems to have made it worse instead of better, so I don't think it works at this end.
As for the diabetes collections they are calls from people who pick up the stuff and them sort it to sell from a Value Village store so I don't donate to them anymore and as you say, after my first doantion they become almost unbearable with their calls.

I have caller ID now and I never answer the phone if I do not recognize the number. I am on the "Do Not Call List" too and I rarely get any solicitations, not even from charities. I guess they have all figured out I am too poor myself to contribute. I give all my charity money to my kitties!
