of the FREAKING candy bar fund raising!

I "had to" buy a box of World's Finest Chocolate that I was going to sell for the gf's daughter. Yeah right. I've been eating two a day (50 per box). Figured she had two boxes..... One she could unload on me and the other her older sister would take to work and move all the bars in a second. Otherwise, her and mom are going door to door selling the stupid things for the stupid over priced syndicate Catholic school she attends. My system is in agony. I feel like some poor German shepherd that got into the wrong drawer while the owners were out. Now I'm coming across more of this bs in my business dealings and again I "have to" buy MORE.:em38: :flush: :s2:

The local elementary school here is also selling the same "World's Finest" chocolate. The door bells rings all afternoon and if the kid lives on my block, my wife insists we buy something. Hardly the worlds "finest" chocolate either. The craps blows. Hersheys, Nestles and Cadbury are all 10 times better at 1/4 the price. But we buy it because we have too as well.

I hate school fund raising projects and all the tools who bring their kid's crap to work all the time. I never solicit my friends, and I rarely buy from other kids. I'll buy my child's allotment so they can get whatever junk toy incentive they want sometimes, but that's it. It's bs if you ask me. I have sold some Girl Scout Cookies, but that's actually a good product.

I've not had that worlds best chocolate, but I have had the Boy Scout popcorn, and that stuff sucks ass!!

When my kids were young I never approached anyone to buy any fund raising things and also told people who wanted me to buy from them my way of dealing with it. I don't sell or buy. The only ones who bought from my kids and who I bought from was family members. Whatever my kids sold I'd match it to get them their ????. Not the same, but have to share this memory. I had put a sign on our door about what I don't want such as selling things or reglion doorknockers etc. Had 3 guys around 17 years old knock at the door with about 4 sheets of signatures for some read-a-thon they were doing.:bs: They either took it from there brother/sister or took it from some kid doing it for real. Anyways, the ask me to sponsor them $$$ for this read-a-aton which allowed me to tell them they were liars because if they could fvcken read they would have read my sign about sponsoring, selling etc. Now I do believe that it was them that egged our house later in the week and not the ones who also couldn't read by knocking and trying to talk to me about reglion. Being down my lungs on a losing streak, I had told them if there's a God Detroit Lions will go under the total . :sawave: as the door was closed.

Try owning a shop in a strip mall. You get this type of stuff ten times a day.

On the course!
If your kids actually do the selling, good for them! I am assaulted on a weekly basis at work by the loving parents of every other kid in northen Wisconsin!

Candy mostly, but other crap, as well. Of course, if you say "no", you are the town douchebag, right?
