Today I moved to a new apartment. At 2 p.m., we first go into the apartment to check the condition. All papers are finalized and the condition of everything is checked by 2:20 p.m. I stay at the apartment to do a few things for a few moments.
At 2:30 p.m. I hear a knock on the door. Two missionaries come bringing tracts.
Look, I know missionaries like to greet new people to the neighborhood or something, but 10 fucking minutes after I move in? Don’t you people have the sense to wait until I get a few boxes and move some furniture up? Here I am, obviously in an almost empty apartment and you want to convert me? Is it not obvious enough that this is a bad time, or do you think that people live in empty apartments around here? Next time will I get missionaries at my door the second I even think about moving?
Of course, I’d be a prime convert target had they moved in a few heavy boxes.
I am now convinced that these missionaries have surveillance on my apartment. 10 minutes after we bring up another load of boxes tonight, they stop by. I knew I was moving to a religious area, but what the heck? 10 minutes? I’m rather unnerved. Every time I step into my house, should I expect missionaries within the half hour or my money back?
This might be a marketable product. Foolproof way to catch someone home, hire our new missionary surveillance people!
