It's rather disheartening to learn that you are completely unwanted, even for free. I literally cannot give myself away to people as free labor for whatever it is they want to do with me.
We have the Crazy Christians on my local university campus. I had a guy try to hand me a flier and I told him "no thanks", his response was: "You're going to Hell then."
Gee thanks man. That'll get people to become a Christian.

i haaaaaaaaaaaaate the fucking group canvassers that troll the area, especially towards the beginning of each term
fucking greenpeace and peta and other fucksicles
i want to punch them inside out
The actual groups don't even get the money when you sign up with one of those people. You end up paying the canvassing group with your donations for at least a year.
i wouldn't even want to support those shitbreeds
greenpeace and peta are abominations
i want those organizations to die
the canvassers for greenpeace near the campus in particular are almost always these cute first or second year girls in little shorts and greenpeace tanktops and stuff
trying to get attention that way, i guess
when i was a single man, i was cool with talking with them because there was a couple times i picked up a fun night's toy that way
but when i am not single i just find them irritating as shit
back in september couple of those girls were on the street corner, and i had to cross at that street but it was a red in the direction i needed to go, and a lengthy red at that, so i had to wait
so these two airheaded well-meaning cuties decided this was the best time to try to rope me in
and i really did not want to deal with that shit
when they started talking to me
that was possibly the angriest "go fuck yourselves" i've ever snarled at perfect strangers
Good. I was thinking about tooling around on the Good Reads site for a while and trying to write reviews or something.
Also, I'm currently in the MIDDLE of the book A Perfect Spy by Le Carre -- am I allowed to put it on Good Reads then, or am I expected to actually finish the thing before I post about it or what?

Do you keep seeing images at the corners of your eyes, like something should be there, but you turn to look and they're just playing tricks on you? That is not fun when playing F.E.A.R.

P.S. What's cool about this forum is that the 6 degrees of separation thing actually works.

see i used to hate dealing with them
no i just firmly shake my head and wave a denial at them and keep walking with no guilt
they are taught to use manipulation tactics and taught how to deal with rejection.
so im defending myself and it does less harm to just firmly indicate there will be no negotiation up front.

yeah, but that happens even with good groups like amnesty.
my gf has no patience for those people, it's pretty funny to see her tell them to piss off.

man, sometimes there are these mormon teenagers with their little short-sleeved white oxford shirts and black ties
and little gold name tags that say "Elder Thomas" and shit
and their black backpacks full of literature
they will come up to talk to me when i am waiting for the bus
when i literally cannot go anywhere to get away from them because i have to stand here and wait
which is such dirty pool to do to a person when you want to preach at them
usually i am nice to mormons and other religious preachers
i'm at least polite
but i freak on these guys every time because i find being anything less than a hostile prick doesn't make them leave
Multiple times I've had Hasidic Jews walk up to me, usually while waiting for the train, and ask "Excuse me sir, are you Jewish?" I say "No", they say "Oh, have a nice day" and wander off. I still don't know why.

I just try and guilt them for pestering people who are basically a captive audience, unless they want to play Frogger with the traffic. Being raised Catholic and a pretty out and out liberal, I know the power of guilt and how to wield some of it.

LudiousI just wanted a sandwich A temporally dislocated QuiznosRegistered Userregular
There was a weird, unconfirmed internet rumor, that I heard about via text from a friend of mine, and who knows how he heard about it, and supposedly Dave was going to be there at midnight, so whatever, I have today off work, so I went down to check it out
...
and there wasn't much to confirm Dave was there, or he was coming, or what, but there was a HUGE crowd, like bigger than I've ever seen there, even with all the myriad events they always do. Just TONS of people, all on cell phones, all talking about whether it's real or not, and whatever else, and we're checking it out, and I'm right next to the stage, closer even than the person who takes the video on that page, just waiting, watching the crowd. I'm getting very skeptical, so I decide to bounce, walk home around 12:40 or so, and on the way back to the car, like three blocks off the square (oh, and the cops had no idea what was happening, they were panicked as shit. Cruisers were showing up and ringing the block, tons of the suburban, out of district cops, because obviously they didn't have the manpower on hand to handle something like that on a Tuesday night, and all while the cops are EVERYWHERE, there are people smoking up and having open containers and no one is getting arrested, because obviously they were very nervous of starting an incident by collaring someone, security guards were just snapping pictures of the people climbing on Starbucks, unable to even get close enough to pull them down) I go by a hotel, and there's Dave Chappelle, getting his wife and his kid out of his car, and heading in. There's a much smaller crowd here, maybe 15 people or so, so I head over to check it out, get a look at the legend, Dave Chappelle.
And he's just schmoozing, is careful to step out for pictures and sign stuff while one of his kids scurries inside, and people are asking him what's up with the midnight performance, and he's like, I have no idea, I just got here. I don't know where the small speaker came from, but he was pulling that out of the car, but I really think he went down there upon request of the police to help disperse the crowd, because even at like 1:30 it wasn't leaving, and word on the net and via text and stuff was that he actually showed up around that time, did that short bit with the tiny speaker that's showed there, where he essentially just says I'm trying to keep everything low profile.
Maybe he was just trying to do a very small thing on the square that night, but it mushroomed out of control. My guess is he's in town for whatever, a rumor started, and he had to come disperse the crowd. Until I see Dave say something about it, I wouldn't trust much reporting on it.
Anyway, it was fun.

I get annoyed at the telephone people who run through this little pretend real conversation script with no conviction whatsoever and it takes them ages to get to the point as to why they are asking.

if you are jewish, but not hasidic, they want to express their viewpoint to you and espouse the hasidic philosophy
if you aren't jewish, they don't give a shit what you think, you're a gentile and can fuck off

Though that's still a pretty hard sell.
