Late last week I got some visitors at the house. Since I work from home, I now notice how many people actually go door-to-door to sell stuff. I call them "visitors" because I'm nice; calling them "assholes that waste my time" just isn't right.
Those two visitors require particular notice. I mean, who cares about the kid trying to sell Domino's rebates in a house when one doesn't eat wheat and the other doesn't like pizza, really. It was kinda funny when he tried to convince me they have stuff with chicken in it and salads and stuff. But I digress.
On to the two visitors, then. This nice little lady introduces herself as "a volunteer", going door-to-door to hand out this pamphlet on the benefits of daily exercise. Right off, I was thinking that she's working up to selling me something, but I was wrong. Just the pamphlet, free. I thank her and her friend and promptly rush back upstairs to my work.
Vero comes home from work and asks "we got a visit from the Jehovah's Witness?" So I'm thinking she found some piece of paper they left at the door or something, 'cause all I saw was a couple of volunteers.
Yeah, everyone caught up to that trick before I did.
The back of the pamphlet on exercise has an add to join the Jehovah's Witness. And the lady slipped a second booklet, under the first, all about their organization. I promptly, and heatedly, threw the documents in the trash and swore rather loudly.
I don't have a problem with these guys, or at least I didn't before now. If they had introduced themselves truthfully, I would have been nice and polite and wished them luck for their long day ahead. But noooo. They just had to LIE about who they are. I don't even get why! Is that little spawn of Satan lady going back to the frat house and getting a cookie for every pamphlet missing in her bag? Why does she feel it necessary to trick me into taking her documents, she doesn't want to fill up the trash at her place so I have to do it? WTF?!?
That little lady really pissed me off. Had she been truthful, she would have been turned down politely and the same would apply to everyone else that showed up later. But now she just switched me to the "mean people" bandwagon and I'm gonna tell them to fuck off and lock the door.
I wished I took better notice of your name, lying lady, so I could say "I would be nice, but because of X I'm forced to tell you to fuck off". Your legacy will go unnoticed.
I only hope she shows up again.
