Hey it's Jesse! Hope your weekends have been going fanastically! Today, I am going to vent to you guys about something I can't stand..all the reasons why I hate going door to door collecting money.
Ok, so today I went door to door to collect money because we are sleeping in boxes outside to help the local homeless shelter, and met quite a few interesting people while doing so.
I hate it when you go to someone's house that you know and they feel obliged to give you money, and it puts them in a weird position because they feel like they have to give you a lot.
I hate it when those same people that you know feel the need to create small talk with you while waiting for the cash.
I hate it when you go to a series of houses where the garages are open you could hear people talking inside but no one answers the door.. gee thanks.
 I hate it when you ring the doorbell, but it doesn't make noise so you aren't sure if you should knock or not.
I  hate when no one comes to the door, so you start to leave and then they open it abruptly surprising you and causing you to scream and fall off their porch.
I hate it when people are creepy. A man literally asked us if we want him to  stay in the box with us so we wouldn't get cold or scared. We were verrry weirded out and we politely declined his offer...
I hate it when the people you are with are extremely annoying. So my friend and I were hitting houses and another girl and her friend were getting houses. Soon we met in the middle, and they wanted to join us. They had tried to join us before but we wanted to cover more ground so we left. But this time when we tried to leave they said they didn't know which houses we had already hit so they should join us to make sure they didn't get the same house twice. We couldn't say no. So we would switch off which houses we would talk at, and whoever talked would get the money from that house. So, at one of the houses I was talking and the woman handed me some money.. then the girl from the other group who hadn't said a word snatched the money from my hand in front of the woman saying "I'll take that". That really tingled my toga.. haha jk but it mad me mad. I realize this was probably not the right decision but I grabbed the money back from her. The women gave us a dirty look, said ookkkk and shut the door. How embarrassing.
I hate it when the extremely annoying people cause you to make less money. Since we were all getting the same houses we weren't getting as many as we could have, so we didn't earn as much money. The grand total of my friend and I was 101 dollars. The other girls had 150. :(
But overall, it was a really interesting  experience and we got to help the homeless so it was worth it! Sorry for the rant guys, but I just had to get it off my chest. Let me know if you guys have ever had weird door to door experiences haha. Bye for now!
