Okay, you all know how annoying those promotion people are who stand in the supermarkets promoting god knows what? Well, ran into one of them today while shopping at Plugins at DFC. This idiot was from $howtime, a company that I really am beginning to loathe because these idiots are just so fucking stupid - they don't understand the phrase "Sorry, not interested". And they ask the dumbest questions! Here's a run through of the chat I had with one of their sales staff:


Hi Sir! Do you live in Dubai?
Er, no...I just beamed down from the mothership to pick up the second season of Desperate Housewives on DVD.

Do you have cable?
Well we usually just gather around a torch and play shadow puppets on the wall...

Do you like to watch movies?
Mostly of the naked kind, but there seem to be less of those on TV.

You see what I mean? So when this guy sauntered up to me, before he could even open his mouth, I asked him if he was from $howtime, and when he said yes, I politely told him that I had cable already, and wasn't looking for a change. 15 minutes later, the idiot came back up to me and asked me what I had against $howtime. Is this guy for real? HELLO - you have a job selling 2 subscriptions a day in a dead beat location. Do you really want me to point out the irony?
