Never join any political party and never donate to any charity except anonymously. Otherwise, you will be hounded for life to give more.
That is so true. I donated to the Republican party years ago, and was getting four calls per day on my landline asking for donations. It was abusive. They ruin any chance of getting any more donations due to the constant phone calls. Now, I don’t donate a cent and ignore the landline calls because anyone who I know who needs to talk with me uses my cell number. The calls have dramatically gone down since.
The other phone calls that irritate me is the police union calling for donations. Yes, their job is dangerous but the benefits, salary of police officers are better than the private sector. Luckily, those calls also go to my landline.
