I knocked a hundred forty doors today, bringing my weekly total to about six hundred.

87. People do that to me sometimes. I figure it's their right to be jerks if they want.

The ones I really don't understand are those who are convinced that if they scream at me, I'll tell everybody else who knocks doors

Last week, I was knocking in another town and a lady just lost it: "Stop coming by! You people are always here! How many times do I have to tell you? I've had four fliers left on my door so far"

I'd never ever been there, and the non-profit that I was volunteering for on that one day has only a handful of volunteers, so they'd never knocked her door either. I know from what other residents told me that day that both D and R campaigns had been knocking there recently. But in the mind of Out-of-Control-Crazy-Lady that it's all one big organization, and if she screams at me, all the door-knocking by all the different non-profits and Political Action Committees and D political campaigns and R political campaigns will stop by some magic

I jumped to the conclusion that the chances for a long warm friendship here were limited, so I told her I was sorry to have bothered her and moved along
