At my day job, we each have little cubicles…about the size of a “walk-in” closet, each person is sectioned off into their own little “office” without the privacy of an actual office.<\/p>\n

It also happens to be that time of year again, when little children in school are asked to go door-to-door to sell useless shit to people, and then if they sell a lot, they get a clock radio as a “gift” or something like that. Really useless shit, ya know?<\/p>\n

I hate that stuff. A big corporation should not be using children to sell their products, teasing them along the way with the chance of winning prizes.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I happen to work with this socially inept 40 year old woman. As I’m walking back into my cubicle, she is already there. She throws down two large envelopes on my desk containing fund-raiser information\/packets for each of her two children, and as she slams the packs down on my desk she says “it’s fund raiser time again”, and walks away.<\/p>\n

Now, you have to realize that I am generally a nice person, but I don’t put up with any bullshit, rudeness, or people who have no social grace. I’m sorry, if you have learned anything living on this planet, you must learn how to properly speak to and interact with people. That’s all I ask…I don’t care if your old or young, smart or dumb. Have some class.<\/p>\n

So, I see her smack these packets down on my desk, and before even sitting down in my chair, I grab the packets, and without looking, toss them over my shoulder and sit down at my desk, like I never saw them.<\/p>\n

She proceeded to tell me what a dick I was, and I told her “I disagree, but I respect your opinion.” Then, I explained to her the proper way to approach someone in order to guarantee a better chance of that same someone buying something. <\/p>\n

Anyone ever come into contact with people like this? If you do, have some fun with them. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
