[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 79964, member: 255"] I really am starting to think that manners don't exist anymore. Since we have moved from Louisiana to Virginia, I have wanted to volunteer at a couple of places. One Sunday here they ran a whole section of the paper listing organizations who need help. One was an animal rescue shelter, needing someone to come walk dogs, play with them, brush them, etc. whoo hoo, right up my alley. I have left 3 voice mails and sent 2 emails to this place, no one returned my calls or email. Finally, I sent an email to the director reminding them of that spread in the paper and I said, if you no longer need volunteers, please have the courtesy to tell me so, so that I may pursue other things. Well, whaddya know, she responded lickety split saying yes yes we need volunteers, please come to the shelter any time and we will get you set up. Another one was a teen pregnancy place. I have left several voice mails and no one is calling me back! Then this church we have been attending offers a full array of music lessons. I have left 4 voice mails for the lady in charge over the past week. She has not returned my calls. I just called the secretary and asked her why is she not having the courtesy to call me back?! She said, well mam she is very busy teaching. I said, well how the heck do you get students to come there if no one returns phone calls? All I want to know is what the charge for lessons is and if they have room for my difficult child. But no one has the answers except this one lady with no manners. So this lady who is sounding upset at me for being upset tells me that she will tell the director to be sure and check her voice mail. Oh, then she asks me if I have tried emailing her! I said, well do you think she would respond to an email..because she doesn't respond to phone messages? shesh I have previously worked 10+ years in customer service. I have a rule, I will call you back within the same day if you leave me a message. This is such a huge pet peeve of mine... AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG [/QUOTE]
