Hug Da Police!

Despite the fact that I am a total stoner, I have no real issues with the police on the rare occasion that I have to deal with them. So when they used to call every 6 months or so, and offered me a sticker for a donation, I was happy to slip them $10 here and there. I'm not wealthy, but I feel okay doing that.

Tonight though, I got one of those calls that was really pushy and rude, and I ended up agreeing to send $15, even though I didn't want to and can't afford it.

I'm pretty pissed off about it. I'm annoyed that I let myself get bullied by a cop even though it was over the phone (I was pretty high). And I'm irritated that even though I am cool about contributing that they would still call at 9pm and railroad me while I'm trying to relax in my own home.

I think I will not send the money.
I need to figure out what to tell them when they called to check on it.

yeah but...

OK so maybe it was a telemarketer (although they're doing their job they should be embarrassed) they had no reason to be rude AND why the F**K were they calling at 9pm? How rude! I've let people bully me into paying for something that I wasn't interested in. I have a bad habit of donating to people though I don't have money either. It's my guilty-conscious-I-want-everyone-to-be-happy-and-feel-better complex.
