Yesterday I worked the bake sale for my club, which basically involved using guilt and enthusiasm at passing strangers. After about an hour of this I sort of eschewed the GameStop model of sales that had been drilled into me, and instead of talking at everyone I tried to pick out the people that looked slightly interested already, and made the pitch to them. Surprise, surprise, this method had a much higher success rate. Someone call GameStop, let them know!

I got one lady to the table with the promise that all proceeds go to charity, but just as she was picking out her slice of pie I made the apparent mistake of explaining that the money goes to setting up free medical clinics in Mexico. I'm not even kidding, as soon as I got to the word Mexico she jumped the hell back and said, "Sorry, not my cause."

Jeez.

There was also a pray-away-the-gay fellow that stood next to our table for about an hour and a half straight, I'm not even kidding, waving a sign about sodomites and yelling about how everyone on campus is going to hell. The cops came and left, nobody stopped him, and eventually he gathered a crowd of righteously indignant college students yelling back at him. I'm pretty sure that's what he wanted, though. I'm just surprised that sort of thing is legal. Our campus has a resident the-end-is-near sign waving guy, but he's quiet and stuff, he just stands there with his sign and his dog and talks to anyone that talks to him first. Yesterday I saw him looking at the angry sign waver, rolling his eyes and shaking his head.

I think it's fucking hilarious that your the-end-is-nigh sign guy thinks the pray-away-the-gay sign guy is a tool.

P.S. Also Ms. I Hate Mexico is an idiot. Even if it's not her cause, she can still have herself a slice of pie, geez. whatever 9_9

It was funny because she clearly wanted pie. Seriously! She hated Mexico (or, I don't know, ~socialized medicine~?) so much that she was willing to GIVE UP SOMETHING THAT SHE WANTED WHICH WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER in order to not give us any money.

Mexico isn't contagious. You can't catch it by simple touch... that woman is an idiot.

Your sign guy sounds nice. All the sign guys I've seen are crazy and like to yell at whomever passes them by... hell, they'll yell at you from across the street. -_-;

Yeah, that's just like the crazy sign guy. He was screaming about how we're monsters, going to hell, sinners, sodomites, NOT VIRGINS, it was pretty damn crazy.
