Actually, can someone comment on what happened to me yesterday? I had my head stuffed in the closet doing some cleaning. someone was at the door pounding away, so I went running to answer. It was a meshulach, and he was on the telephone. And he held up his finger signaling to me that i should wait till he concluded his call. I was mystified and said to him incredulously “you talk on the phone while collecting Tzaddakah?” So he says, “well, i never know when i will recieve a call!” So I told him to come back to me when he is not so “busy”. He proceeded to his car (parked in my driveway, without my permission, blocking us in) and continued his talk for ten minutes until he went away. I know it was not right of me, but here it is on my day off and I have so much to do and the phone is RINGING off the hook for a billion different organizations, and a line of meshulachim is at the door pounding and ringing. and I do give something to everyone. but to come to my door with the cell phone to your ear?? Where are his manners? He is not one of the nebechs who come, but he is a talmid chochum who is in all the newspapers and i think it all got to his head. He should come back with an apology, in my opinion, but what does everyone in yeshiva land think of this, how would you react?
