Dear ppl that stand at the skytrains and hand out free newspapers...

[g!ggles]

You see me every single freakin morning.. the same ppl are there at the same time every single freakin morning. And every single freakin morning I politely smile and shake my head, " No thank you!" and keep on walking.

Do you think that maybe you could please realize that since I havn't ONCE taken a paper from you in the past 8+ months that you could possibly please skip trying to shove them in my face. Especailly when you all come at me at once !&^$#(&*()*^&*%&$**!

Thanking you kindly,

[FeelGood]

I know they watch you coming from like 10ft away.
there prolly thinking 'were gonna get you this time mwmahhahahah!'
but they never do.

[g!ggles]

haha Yeah I kind thought that too, but I have never ever ever ever taken one from them.. and I think that they have been doing it for almost a year or maybe a lil less... so no Im sorry I don't want a paper :)

[fable]

Why is it so difficult to say no thankyou, or perhaps since you go past certain people so often, maybe just a non of the head, and a good morning. Youd be suprised what that does for a person.

Although things have changed over the last several months, many of the people handing out these papers, are in the mental health/addictions/PTSD community and are getting re-integrated in society. I am most definetly not saying that this is an excuse for any behaviour that is offensive to you, but perhaps cutting them a bit of slack (most of them ARE working atleast) would be both beneficial to yours and the others personal level of human spirtuality. Something to think about i guess.

Smile at people, theyre all we got-

peace+'spect

ps: the real problem is the amount of papers/the content, and the redundancy of them! although im not positive about the actaul impact this massive surge of papers has on the environment specifically.

[TipSy]

^ i totally agree..
jus say NO thank you, just because they see you everday does not mean they can remember..
i see hundreds of the same girls that walk into off the wall all the time, but does that mean i can remember who they are... No..

Those local newspapers they hand out sometimes..are actually nice to read when riding the skytrain if your bored or what not..
So good for those ppl standing in the cold!

No, i bet theyre feeling embarassed, insecure, some may be ashamed, other may be proud, that theyre getting reintegrated in society. But i do admit, that some are more aggressive than others.

wow did even read my post or you just saw my name and decided to write whatever you wanted. Every morning I smile and say " No thank you!!" ( did you get that part? ) and it just so happens to be the SAME PPL EVERY SINGLE MORNING!! Are you telling me that for the last year all these ppl don't recongize me from seeing me at least twice a day and saying " No thank you!" b/c they are in the mental health/addictions/PTSD community and are getting re-integrated in society. Wow I wish that I could use that excuse more in life.

I hardly think so!

again.. did you read my post how I said that I say " NO THANK YOU"!! and smile and nod!

[g!ggles]

:) thanks you're a doll! :329: *meant for eighty5*

[FeelGood]

read before you post.

[TipSy]

regarding the no thank you part... i appoligize...

but even though they do see u everyday.. its their job to still ask ppl if they want or dont want the paper..
and again as i said before.. they always cant remember who the same person is going in and out of the station..

A question though: Is it the same person there every single day?

haha yes!! That's the funny part. There are 5 of them.. and I see them 2x a day. On my way to work and on my way home from work. And both times I always say " No thanks!" I realize that they are fun to read but I have my headphones on anyways.

It's just really annoying!

[TipSy]

^ well then .. by all means rant away...
now instead of saying no thank you.. and your that annoyed by them.. dont say anything at all..just keep walking and have your head down listening to your music

see I've tried that before but then afterwards I felt really super bad. *haha* I dunno it's one of those you win you lose situations.

But let me just say that when you are having a really bad morning that is the icing on the cake before I even get to work! *sigh*

[FeelGood]

i must admit that would be such a shitty job.
standing there out in the cold handing out papers for hours and hours.

IM GOING TO BUY THEM ALL COFFEE ON MONDAY AT SURREY CENTRAL STATION!

[Gusto]

yeah i go through the same thing every morning when i walk across downtown, except that i pass 6 or 7 of these people. i tell them no thanks everytime too, but you'd think after a while they'd stop trying. some are better than others for it. one guy actually says "please" because he wants me to take one, haha. do they have some kind of quota?

um, Im not sure. I thought that myself and then it kinda made sense. They must b/c that is why they push it ssoo much! *lol*

[Gusto]

but if they did, they could just pretend and throw some in the dumpster like i sometimes did on my paper route when i was 12.

haha awh that totally made my day *lol* I tried to give you Karma for that but it said that I must spread some around first before giving it to you again. I'm def coming back to this one!!

Yeha no shit eh! That's what I would do. Unless they have like dumpster patrol or something. That would be quite the job. *lol* Can you imagine.. " so what do you do?" " I'm on dumpster partol" *haha*

I DID notice that you included the "no thankyou part" did YOU NOTICE THAT ALL I SAID WAS "is it really that hard?" - that you needed to post it up, in true hateful, immature manner?

im trying and always will to inject some fucking human decency in the population, and hope that the few caddy brats that i meet along way manage to grow out of their childish negetivity and shallow hatred. "You wish you could use that excuse"!?! thats straight fucking evil!!

but then again, perhaps wearing this hat, that was specifically engineered for you in mind, may deter these "annoying" pests





or perhaps just some

Valium (generic name: diazepam)

[Gusto]

sometimes i see people going up and talking to them with clipboards. they might as well be wearing shirts that say, "dumpster patrol".

[Gusto]

wow, fable, talk about overreacting. she didn't say it was too hard. it's just a harmless gripe.
