When Pre-Determined Responses Go Wrong!
December 3, 2009, 9:39 am
In Washington DC, there is always some BEI (bright eyed idealists) trying to get you to stop and sign something for one cause or another.
It’s not that I’m not interested, don’t care, or haven’t been out hustling for signatures myself for various causes…I just don’t usually have time to hear a pitch and nor the desire to get emails for every cause on the planet.
So over the last couple of years I’ve developed a system which I believe is encouraging yet prevents people from further engaging me or trying to overcome the objection.
Signature Gatherer: Do you have a minute to help _______?
Me: I’m in total support, but don’t have time to stop. Good Luck!
This has generally worked for me…until today.
As I was walking to a meeting today I spied two bright eyed idealist on the corner and before it registered what the young man had said:
Signature Gatherer: Do you have time to support gay rights?
I’m not totally sure why but I threw up a Black Panther fist and said:
Me: I’M TOTALLY WITH YOU GUYS!
Which didn’t sound nor look right…
