I got a note on my door: "I've been servicing some of your neighbors |
|
Edited on Thu Mar-03-05 06:55 PM by Bouncy Ball
for three years. I am looking for new clients to service. If you don't want to be serviced, please pass this on to a neighbor or friend who does. I will come by and take apointmints {sic} in the morning. Thank you."
Who knew Jeff Gannon lived around here?
(I think the person forgot to leave another part of their sales pitch or something. That can't be all of it. But I think I'll take a pass on being "serviced" by a complete stranger. The 80s ARE over, after all.)

LOL
I laughed so hard when I took it off my door and read it. SERVICE me? Been servicing my neighbors for three years?
No wonder they're so relaxed.

4. Please tell me you're making this up |
|
If not. Send it to the police. It sounds like solicitation to me.

Typed it verbatim. It's sitting right here on my desk.
I think maybe it was for a house cleaning business and the person's English isn't so hot. It's not unusual for around here.
In Jesusland, no one would be so bold as to do an actual solicitation for actual......servicing this way.

But if they forgot the rest of the material on everyone else's door today, that was a total waste of time and energy. There isn't even a phone number I can call to arrange to be serviced.

I can see the whole basis for a novel here... " The Service " Can this be performance art ?

16. This would be a great thing to do...... |
|
just leave badly copied non specific -untracable handouts on peoples front porches offering " service " .
no name, no phone number, no clues.
but I would not do it too often.
