Dear Internet,
I am shameless. I admit I can't stand being stopped on the street to hear about the latest save the whatever or to sign a petition for green*peace. These people are usually camped out on my walk to and from the office. I respect their deal and what they are trying to do however, it just interferes with my purpose of either trying to get into work on time or trying to catch the train to head back home. My patience runs thin when I get randomly stopped for these things and then I feel like a bone head when I am stammering for an excuse on why I can't talk to them.
So, I've figured out the perfect plan. When I see one these people, with their clip board in hand, smiling and waving their hands to flag me down. I quickly pull out my cell phone and start talking. As soon as they see I am talking on my phone, they quickly seek out their next innocent person to stop. Ahhh, conversation averted and I am happily on my way to my destination.
so bad, I know.

Haha - I'd totally do the same.
Good plan...that works for me!!
Hope you have a good week.
i have done that too - truth be told...
Good strategy! Think it'd work on snooty clients? Happy Labor Day Heather!
I think I've done that. I throw in a big smile and a "thumbs-up" just to make them feel good, too.
I can understand that frustration, for sure. Every day on your way to work? That would drive me batty.
Where have you been? I miss you!
Hey there...just checking in. Hope all is well.
