Ms DD Posted December 4, 2008 Waad salaamantihiin dhamaan Malika How about, "walaalo, stop calling me or i will call the police" with a nice big smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted December 4, 2008 ^^LOL You don't need to tell them to stop calling you MAlika. Just stop answering their calls, after a while they will get the picture and stop calling you or call you less often. If they just call too much and you don't want to cut them off all together (i.e. They just talk too much or you need space) Then ignore their calls for three days, then send them a short text along the lines of "HEy, sorry I missed all your calls, I've had some things to sort, I'A we'll talk soon. Take care" If they call again within the day or the next, ignore them for three more days. When you do start taking their calls again, keep it short, "Listen, we'll have to catch up soon, I can't really talk right now" P.s. Don't get yourself in hot water by saying, I will call you back, it opens the doors for debates of "but you said you will call back" Just leave it open; "we'll speak soon I'A."

sheherazade Posted December 4, 2008 ^Just say please do not calm me any more. It's for the best. Sound neutral. It can be done. Had a conversation with someone last night about what you're worth. Spent many years underselling myself. The moment I aimed higher, I landed the better roles with the bigger pay cheques. And found that I have space for even more of a challenge- ie more responsibility and dosh. If you want we can form a woman's group; I think I've found a couple of people from here already who are chasing THE DREAM. Making significant money, working together, investing together and not having to be a slave to anyone. Interested? CV, please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted December 4, 2008 Depends who is calling you, Malika. Imagine applying the advice from DD & Ibti to a situation where it's your mother you're trying to avoid! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faheema. Posted December 4, 2008 ^if she does that, ignores. She will have to avoid ALL anonymous and unknown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted December 4, 2008 Faheema I think most of ignore Anonymous and unknown numbers away. I hate them, maxaye qaariniyan. I only answer them if I am bored. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted December 4, 2008 Heh. Faheema. I ignored three calls today. If I don't know the number, I don't answer. Simple rule. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
