*gnashes teeth*
Mar. 4th, 2010 01:57 pmI just spent ten minutes on the phone with some dude. He called up asking for funding, but he's just an individual with "a really great idea". When I explained the stuff about needing to be an actual organisation with charitable status, he started crapping on about the government and how it tries to keep charities under its thumb, and how unfair it is for the average man in the street, and how the Rudd Government is evil, and why wasn't there funding for his idea?
When he eventually got to a point in his rant where he paused, I asked him pointedly, "Can I help you with anything else today?"
And he said "No, that's all for today. I think I'll just go and annoy the government."
And he frackin' hung up on me.
And that, my friends, is why I frequently loathe and despise the general public. Because it's full of people who want to waste my time for no reason, knowing that I am at work and therefore to professional to hang up on them, but who feel free to hang up on me.
