7. You think they're bad?

You haven't encountered the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) yet.

These are the biggest pests you can find anywhere. I made the mistake of sending them a few bucks years ago and when I didn't send the money in fast enough I got harassed, which just pissed me off even more. So I waited until the campaign was over and then I sent the money in along with a note telling them to just leave me the hell alone from now on.

That had to be 2006 or 08 and I've gotten calls regularly since then. They don't email but they are real telemarketers. In fact they called this afternoon and I didn't even let the guy start his spiel before telling him my tale of woe. He couldn't get off the phone fast enough.

I must have told them a dozen times to take me off their phone list but it does no good. Next time I think I'll threaten litigation.
