[QUOTE="dgbeard45"]If there is one thing I learned in high school it is you do not f with the marine recruiters. Seriously, they will come to your house (happened to me but for something negative) they get a bonus for each new recruit so they are serious. But, your friend got what he desereved, he was being an idiot and he was put in his place. Now if only teachers would of acted like that when I was high school, I think it would of been a more productive environment.MrGeezer
I've always told my parents, "DO NOT EVER HAND ME THE PHONE WHEN I AM SLEEPING."
And really, I am serious about this stuff. Do not EVER hand me a phone when I am sleeping. Because if I'm asleep, and you wake me up and shove a phone in my face, I'm at least 40% ASLEEP. I barely know what the **** is going on. I sound like I'm high, I can't speak intelligently, and I'm gonna agree with whatever you say just so that you leave me alone and I can go back to sleep. It's a VERY awkward and uncomfortable situation to be put in, and it's total BS.
So anyway, one day my parents did that to me. I had just gotten home from school, and I was fast asleep taking a nap before having to go to work. So anyway, one of my parents comes into my bedroom while I'm fast asleep, hands me the phone. On the phone was an Army recruiter. He wanted me to join the Army and was trying to convince me to join the army. I declined, but he kept on persisting, and eventually I agreed to at least talk with him just so that he'd get off the phone and I could continue my pre-work nap.
Anyway, a few days later, I get home from school and this army recruiter is in my house waiting for me. And I'm like, "wtf is this?" Then he tells me that I agreed to talk to him, my parents filled in the blanks, and I realized that I had agreed to talk with him about joining the army while I was still half asleep. And I looked at my parents and was like, "you mother*****ers."
That was a crappy ass situation to be in. Because I'd just wasted this man's time with the imperssion that I was considering joining the army, and I had to sit there and tell him to his ****ing face that I had wasted his time and that there was no way in hell I was ever going to join the army.
That was some ****ing bull****. I don't see how hard it is to adhere to the simple ****ing concept that when I am asleep, I AM NOT THERE.
If I cannot think rationally and make intelligent decisions (which I cannot do when I am half asleep), do NOT give me the phone unless it is an ABSOLUTE ****ing emergency. There is NO ****ing reason why my parents couldn't have taken a message and phone number so that I could call the guy back if I was interested in joining the army. There is no ****ing reason why they couldn't have told him to call back the next day.
When I am asleep, DO NOT GIVE ME THE ****ING PHONE. No, really. DON'T ****ing do it. When people have asked for my parents in thew past, and they were taking naps, I didn't ****ing wake them up and then shove a phone in their faces. At most, I'd wake them up and ask if they wanted to talk. And that's AFTER first telling the caller to piss off. If my parents then said "no, I don't want to talk", I DID NOT HAND THEM THE ****ING PHONE. I told the caller to REALLY piss off, and that if they really wanted to speak to my parents, thy could call back later. I was happy to take a message and a call back number, but I am NOT gonna wake somebody up and immediately shove a phone in his/her ****ing face. That's a load of crap. It's wrong, it's rude, and no one should ever have to be subjected to that.
tl;dr: don't make me talk when i'm sleeping, lol.
What was that tangent for, anyway? It had hardly anything to do with army recruiters...
