Don’t You Have A Phonebook?
So I got a call on my cell phone this afternoon, and from my contact list I knew the call was coming from the callbox/buzzer (that you dial to get buzzed in). I figured oh that silly Bunky must have forgotten her keys or something, and picked up. It was somebody asking me to come volunteer and support Barack Obama!
WTF?! Who dials people on their condo callbox?! I can appreciate that this person is enthusiastic enough to walk out in the cold and go door to door, but it was really strange and humorous having a conversation with the person at the callbox. Plus there is no way in hell I am volunteering my weekend, because between classes and work, I barely have free time as it is.
Of course, our condo is probably an easier assignment than most neighborhoods. Although you cannot get into the main part of the building without getting buzzed in, you can stand in the outer lobby area (which i think is heated) and just go down the list and dial every single number.

Wow..that’s definitely the weirdest canvassing story I’ve ever heard.
Although maybe it’s no weirder than knocking on the doors of people’s houses. My sister is going to go door to door in Ohio next week for Obama..I’ll tell her to make sure not to do the creepy buzzer disembodied voice thing.

They really campaign by going door to door? I mean Jehova’s Witnesses at least offer you some free magazine and eternal life in paradise… but another President? That’s all? It can’t be avoided anyway, can it? Thanks but no thanks. I doubt they dare doing that in Texas anyway.
