Yesterday, I am walking up the hill to my apartment, carrying three bags of groceries in 5 degree weather when two kids about my age walk up. They introduce themeselves as Brian and Armando. Brian starts off on a little speech about how he is running a fund-raiser for his school selling "trial subscriptions" for the Tribune. Now, I'll interrupt the story in the middle and say I HATE SOLICITORS!! Telemarketers, I hate them all! If I wanted to buy a subscription for a paper, I would do it. I don't need some kid to sell me a subscription to a paper I don't want. Anyway, back to Brian and Armando. They finish up their speech. I look at my dad, who is almost to the house, and look back st Brian and tell him "I'm not interested." Then they say, You don't even want a Sunday subscription?" I say, "No thanks, Sorry." What the heck? It's bad enough to get someone soliciting to you but now they get pushy? This rant has been brought to you by the letters F U and the number SOLICITORS ARE MORONS! |
