You are a stronger woman than I. I bought six boxes of Thin Mints this year. But I couldn't hide, a co-worker hunted me down.

But I do understand– I NEVER answer my door. Unless it's a FedEx package I have to sign for. If I don't have to sign I let them leave it, wait til they walk away, and THEN open my door. Cause if I DO open my door, I end up buying a $60 subscription to SHAPE magazine from a teenager participating in a scam of some sort. Not that it's happened to me, or anything.

Love it! I can't argue with a success rate that high. Sometimes when the little cookie sellers are outside of my local grocery store I opt for the deaf strategy.

This is one of those rare instances where we plus sized girls have a huge (pun intended) advantage. I've perfected my technique:

Smile sweetly at the Scout, "Oh, I remember selling ALL THOSE cookies! Are you having fun?"
Smile sheepishly at the parent ('cuz they don't let them go out alone anymore), "I'm sorry, I just CAN'T keep them in the house," accompanied by some vague, but subtle, hand gesture toward any one of my larger body parts (except the chest - creepy!).
Smile sweetly and sheepishly at the Scout, "Good luck!!"

So far: 100% success rate.

(And, for the record, 100% true - I will eat every last freaking cookie, so I don't allow them in the house.)

No, seriously though. I've done the exact same thing. Except it was with the Mormon missionaries.

*hears knock on the door, peaks out window, sees mormons looking at said window, immediately disappears again*

FUCK.

Yea. Screw their damn window tactics. Seriously.

And yes. We are gonna be besties. I can FEEL it.

That was hilarious. I'm amazed you resisted the temptation. Those things are easier to sell than crack. My sister used to sell them when she was young and she would get 500 orders. Meanwhile I would try to sell shit for marching band nobody wanted to buy it.

I just did my prelim research: Tagline: Anxiety Loves Company (Umm.. Love it!) Plot Summary: Following graduation, a handful of college students do nothing and talk about it wittily.

I'm so in… haha.

You have to watch “Kicking and Screaming”. Not the one about soccer with Will Ferrell… The one that came about in like… '92. Just trust me on this one.
