Well ... my car would be locked, so they wouldn't have any way to get into it unless I let them in. And if they knock on the door to ask, I can either not answer the door or I can answer it and say no. Just like with the phone, the choice is always mine. I'm in control of what I answer and what I don't.It's not the payment.
My phone ringing disturbs me.
I don't want me and my family disturbed by STRANGERS, who in my mind have no business calling me.
I don't want people I know getting a busy signal because Rachel from Cardholder Services. has the phone tied up leaving me ANOTHER message.
If your car is in the driveway, you mind if those homeless folks down the street just sit in it? They aren't going to use gas, or even turn the key and use up battery power. It won't cost you a penny for them to sit in YOUR car.
If the phone rings and I'm not close enough to it to see Caller ID, I let it go to VM. If someone I know starts talking, I pick up and take the call. If it's a hang-up or a sales call, I don't. If my phone ringing disturbs me, I turn the ringer off and the speaker down and let everything go to VM.
It just seems to take so much more energy to be rude to a telemarketer than it does to just ignore the call.
