no, I dont want to go to church with you

[nomorecarts]

this thread is not about the validity of any religion, don't take it there, it's about random idiots trying to take strangers places

so I check this person out, and everything goes normal then as she's leaving

italics are thought

SC:do you want to go to church with me?
me:no
SC:why not?
me:because I don't like church, and I don't know you, you freak me out
SC:i'll take you to lunch
me:no as tempting as lunch with a complete stranger, who may or may not be criminally insane is, my parents still pay for my food

I hate when people try to talk religion, and when i'm on a register I don't even have anywhere to run to like when I was a cart pusher

See, that's just creepy, worse would be if it's a person asking you out to lunch and then ambushing you with the religion though.

This reminds me of an incident I had when I was only a month or so into my current job. I check a guy in and as I'm going through the procedure, is quick to point out that my vision isn't up to snuff and points it out.

As I'm handing him his room key and receipt, he asks if he could pray for me. I assumed he would have done so in the privacy of his hotel room. That was my mistake. I consented and he starts praying right there. As this is happening, a few people got in line behind him. It kinda felt embarrassing afterwards.

I grew up in a pray to yourself kind of cuture, then I started coming across people who feel the need to lay hands on me and pray aloud. They mean well, but I have to make sure I don't have anythng going on before I ever answer yes to someone praying for me.

I've never had anyone ask if I'd like to go to church with them. However, I've had people ask me if I want to go to Mary Kay Parties, Tupperware, Avon, and Pampered Chef parties. Also, there are the guys who want me to run away with them. Yeah ... Sure ...

Hey, idrinkarum, will you run away with me

back on topic... I've had all types of religious pamphlets given to me at the desk... all of them explaining why I'm going to hell... yeah... I knew that already...

I thought you already worked there? Oh wait, that was the last place

[smileyeagle1021]

yup... that was the last place... I'm hoping I can get some of my sentence in hell reduced by explaining that I've already served a year of it in that call center...

eh, anyway, I'm of the attitude that, I'm going to hell anyway, might as well take the scenic route...

I had a woman recently tell me that God loves me.

Understand that this was not at a convenient time and it had nothing to do with her religious beliefs. She had a huge shit eating grin and there was a line of customers behind her. She was one of the girls that sits outside the store and begs for change all day. I've ignored her countless times and this was her way of trying to get me to say something snotty.

My reply was a very peeved but very polite, "This is not the time, the line is busy. Have a nice day."

See this is when you take advantage of the situation and say "I really need to confess to all the raunchy, premarital fornication I've committed lately, not only with married men, goats, cheese and bubble wrap, but also with our local congressman."

I was once sweeping the floor at HealthfoodOfDoom, obviously not brilliantly happy (it was saturday and I wanted to go home) and someone stopped dead, smiled that sickly grin at me, and said, in the most condescending tone ever 'don't worry, you're doing a great job, and Jesus loves you!'.

She said it like you'd talk to a five year old.

She was gone before I could say 'and the goddess loves you!' and see how she reacted.

Sure! Where do you want to run away to?

Haha I've gotten that too. I guess I'll see you there!

Want to run away with me to Mrytle Beach? Bring some games!

[smileyeagle1021]
