I've got one of those stories. by Injustice 01/26/2019, 3:07am PST
Last weekend, I was very rudely awakened at two in the afternoon by a phone call. It was someone at my building intercom. He got as far as "Hi, my name is Paul and I'm volunteering--" before my phone died. That's more talk time than I usually get out of my 13-year-old phone battery! But now I was fucked, because he was going to think I hung up on him and I was going to feel like an asshole all day. So I got dressed, shoved a twenty in my pocket - I'm going to be honest, I was searching pretty hard for a five - and headed down six flights of stairs to try and catch him.

It turned out to be a fat young man and an ethnic young woman canvassing for the NDP, a mildly left-wing political party. They were appropriately appreciative of me coming down. Thankfully they weren't collecting for anything, which meant I got to keep my money, the only thing I really care about - hence the 13-year-old phone. I'm probably still not going to vote.

A couple of days later I came down with a cold, which I attribute 100% to shaking the fat one's hand. Now the next time some religious freaks ring my buzzer, I'm going to have a story to share about how much I can relate to their Jesus.
