Relationship Woes and Advice, The Seventh Saga

[Quincunx]

Re-routing concern for the person who's calling to perform a mental dump, giving them the attention they crave (and from you no less!), is not the way to get them to Go Away. It might add a feeling of reciprocal treatment, though, to wake her up at two in the morning to pass on the names and numbers of counseling services and then hang up.

[EDIT: Might've been taken more seriously if 300 hadn't been quoted to death already, mind you, but the positive points from quoting it in context for once balance that out.]
