Don't give out your card

[oXYnary]

This is sorta general for all areas..

If you aren't going to reply to emails, don't give out the business card to random people interested in your company. It's just rude to do that. You could have been honest during the conversation and said you preferred not to give it out.

You otherwise come off as another two face sell out who's too passive aggressive.

Thank you for your time. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

What?

[oXYnary]

Im in one of "those" moods.

[ElysiumGX]

I'm not sure I follow.

[killingpeople]

haha! they aren't contracts, they're just business cards.

[ScoobyDoofus]

Yeah, a card is not a promise.

[Xenobond]

Maybe you shouldn't have begged for the business card then.
:P

I don't have a card, but then I have no problem telling people I have no intrest in being contacted again. I kinda like it actually, best part of the conversation.

I have a desk, an old metal business desk (circa 1969) with a superhuge Hutch on it. On top of that desk is my foot long box of business cards I was given in 1992. They same amount of cards are in that box now as were in it when I got it. I happen to be on the business end of the business card. People give me their cards hoping I call them.

I'll be goddamned if I am going to give somebody a card that means I will get yet another phonecall in the middle of my day.

I hate the phone. And I mean the regular normal person landline pone. I hate to hear the phone ring at work. If it rings more than once I am cussing. I hate it even more if it is for me! I never answer the phone at home umless caller ID identifies it to be someone who I want to talk to.

Don't even get me started on cell phones, they are the work of satan!!!

Business cards started all this shit, so I never give any of them out.

I didn't beg. Biaaatch.

A card would imply that they at least have enough respect to take your email responses Which was specifically asked permission to do.

I dont know where contract or such came from? Thats your own issues coming through.. so kill and xeno.. is that what happened to you in the past? You took a card to mean a job? If so then see Paks response.

If said person doesnt want to do it. Then don't. As below...

I'm still really not sure what you're referring to here. Are you trying to tell me I shouldn't give people business cards?

[monster]

He means not to give your business card to people you actually don't intend to communicate with.

I learned my lesson. I used to give business cards to extended family, but then they start sending me junk e-mail and calling me on my work phone. Now I just tell them I'm out.

[Ruz]

I wonder if you own a business card company, would you have business cards ?

[MoP]

Ohhh, I see! Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

[hawken]

heres my card, good luck!

That's why I stick to just dropping my business card into those little bins at restaurants to get free meals.

Ha. When I worked at Quiznos, we never checked that thing. Eventually, we decided it would be funny to call the very first person that put their card in, a whole year earlier. So we pulled out the bottom card, called the number. Turns out that guy was dead, and had been for 6 months. It was a VFW card, so I guess he was just old.

We all felt kind of awkward for a few minutes.

Hawken: Ooooh, what happens if you stick that into one of those GBA eReaders?
