He's Eating His Dinner!!!
I got a phone call from a friend of mine. She was organizing a fund raiser for some people who "need help with their medical bills, again." Not that they don't have insurance but being sick is expensive. I normally always say yes to these kinds of things but this really has me annoyed. as I said this is the second time a community fundraiser is being help for this family. The first one was several years ago. The guy was in a very serious motorcycle accident. The fund raiser they are organizing this time is for the gal. She has some for of cancer.
Let me back up about 10 years...I use to sell insurance. I sold supplemental insurance. That is additional insurance that pays monies directly to you to help with all the costs that come into play when a serious illness strikes and to help off set what your regular medical insurance does not cover. at that time we only had a cancer policy and an intensive care policy to offer. I mostly sold this insurance through the work place. But this one employer would not allow me to speak with his employees on the job. I had to contact them at home and make arrangements to meet them. I got the usual run around, some appointments, some hang-ups, some NO's. I got this one gal on the phone and she insisted on knowing WHY I WANTED TO SPEAK WITH HER HUSBAND???? what did I want??? When I told he I wanted to speak with her too I was just calling for an appointment, she rudely told me, "Jeff was eating his dinner and there was no need to call back if he wanted anything he would just speak with the owner about it and then she slammed the phone receiver down. I guess she told me.I have had years of rejection but I am appreciated by many.
Anyway shortly after that Jeff was in a very serious motorcycle accident and you guessed it he spent many many days in intensive care. The community had a fundraiser for him to help offset the cost of this very serious accident.
Now, the gal who so rudely hung up on me has cancer. another community fundraiser is being organized to help off set the cost of this very expensive illness.I would feel better about giving if I could just get her rudeness out of my mind but I can hear her words as if she spoke them to me yesterday.
I am still on the fence with this one.
