So let's see again :D I received many business cards from people I met in my life. Sometimes I check and select them, which one I may need in the future. But now I am thinking about: Do the people really give it to me, because they want me to call them??? Or is it only a courtesy? Is it only a habit? what do you think? (If it is not correct I will reastart again LOL)

That is true, but those people have forgotten about you, probably.

Yes, the sad fact of the matter is I do keep them, even if they are years old, I am a collector and don't like to throw stuff away because I might need it at a later date, it doesn't take up room, I put them in a wallet and I know where they are in the future if I should need them at all.

I don't keep any, I just copy information from business card to my computer and note book. People are giving away business cards, because it is easy way to exchange phone numbers.

Yesterday I received one from a repairer. My washing machine went to wrong and I had to call somebody. I hope I will never have to call him again to fix my machine.

I usually just throw them in my purse and rarely ever use them. I forget about them until I clean out my purse and then I toss them.

That is cool! But do you give it to everybody, or just to those whose name you know at least?

I think people give business cards to us hoping that maybe us or someone we know will need their services one day and call them. I don't keep all the business cards I receive. Sometimes I go through all my stuff in my purse and I throw most of the cards except the ones I really need.
