I once had a guy from the Shriners call looking for money. I told him very nicely that unfortunately I wasn't in the position to help them out just then. He said that it didn't have to be alot, whatever I could give would be appreciated. I repeated that I just wasn't in the position at that time to donate anything and he got really snotty with me. It was something along the lines of "You mean you can't even afford $20?" And when I said not right now he asked me "What the hell's wrong with you that you can't even afford $20?" That's when I hung up. I still can't believe that someone had the audacity to call me up for money and then cuss me out when I said no. It's like those panhandlers that say they'll only take bills....
