[quote="annoyed"]A few days ago, at round 7pm, when I was cooling off in my backyard pool, my wife told me I got a call. I wondered who would call me at such a time. Once I answered the phone, I realized it was from a stranger asking for donation. I almost threw the phone in the pool. :shock:[/quote]
