Annoying Solicitors
You're in the supermarket, in a hurry, and you just want to get home. It has been a long day, you're tired, and the lines are long. Finally, you are on your way out of the store when, some idiot in a green shirt that says "Save The Rain Forest" jumps out and says, "I've been waiting to talk to you all day"! "Do You Have A Minute"? You say "No, Sorry", But it doesn't stop there. They start rattling off statistics about things that you don't give a rats ass about and they say things like "Don't You Care"! Finally, as you walk off, they yell " Have a Nice Day"! In other words "F*%K You". The same thing applies to the petitioners, vendors, and other pest who have nothing better to do then piss busy shoppers off by bugging them as they enter or exit an establishment. I am happy to say that a cell phone can make a big difference! As you approach or exit a place of business and you see a pest, just take out your phone and talk, laugh, argue, or just rattle on with, " OMG! You're Kidding, No Way, Come On"!! Get in to the conversation, even if you are talking to yourself. That My Friends, is how you avoid an "Annoying Solicitor"!

Hey Deena, good tip on the use of the cell phone.
ReplyDeleteWhenever someone trying to sell me something asks if I "have a minute," I tell them that my time is $100 per minute and they'd better talk fast. I finish with "I'll write you a bill when you're done." That usually shuts them up.
