One year, when I told them I wasn't going to send them an out-of-cycle donation, the woman said, "I understand. These are pretty hard times for us all." That's when I snapped and told her that they had just received the largest IN-CYCLE donation I'd ever given them, about a month before this call.
Last year (maybe the year before), I was barraged with calls for an out-of-cycle donation. The last one was while I was on the Metro. The other people in my immediate area heard, "FOR THE ***SIXTH*** TIME, YOU ARE NOT GETTING A PENNY FROM ME UNTIL PLEDGE WEEK! STOP CALLING!" There was much laughter, presumably laughter of familiarity.
