You know what's worse than Jehovah's Witnesses on your doorstep?

An Army recruiter on the phone.

At least with the JW's you can duck behind the nearest large object and pretend no one is home until they lose interest and leave. It's harder to dodge somebody on the phone......

[Chocofreak13]

just tell them straight up that you're not interested. :0

I said I'd considered going into the Air Force or Navy in the past because they're more involved with computers & electronics hoping that would get her off my case, instead that invited her to tell me about all the rad things the Army's doing with computers these days. 

[stewartsage]

I've never had problems with a recruiter.  I ask very specific questions until they just go away.

[Bella]

I've had good luck avoiding them at in person (and, well, I've only seen one at college and he wasn't being particularly aggressive - i.e. waiting for people to come and talk to him), I was taken by surprise getting a call from one! 

[Chocofreak13]

i'm thankful they'll never contact me, for various reasons.....

just tell them you're considering defecting to Canada.

[Nichi]

I've never had them contact me; seems strange they'd do that :\

[Goujer (she/her)]

I've also never heard of direct contact for recruitement. I can ask my friend in the forces and see the scoop.

Quick dumb story going back to the beenie babys. When I was like 10 I inherited a huge box of beenie babies including the 4 McDonalds world countries beenie babies in perfect mint; so I opened there boxes, tore off there tags and played with them. A few years ago I heard beenie babys could go for a lot on eBay, I looked it up and found the same set I had going for $400. The guilt I felt...

Mmm. The Beanie Babies market is a screwy thing; I recall a time when even commons could command decent resell value, but the bubble burst with the stunt they pulled in the early '00s; with The End Bear. It was a special edition announced to be the last Beanie Baby ever produced...and then, with the prices for all Beanies hitting their absolute peak on eBay, they released The Beginning Bear as a counterpart to it, and continued producing more Beanies thereafter. The market died overnight because of that, with even the rare ones dropping to almost worthless for a time.

But, if it makes you feel better, I could have won $1,000 back in 1999, in a contest held by Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut during the multimedia blitz promoting Star Wars: Episode I. It was like the McDonald's Monopoly promotion, except you had to collect these cardboard coins (They were basically Pogs), which they gave you a random one with every meal, and when you had a complete set of a certain color, you'd be able to win a prize...and we had the 3 needed to win the $1,000 prize, which my sister realized first. However, it just so happened one of them was the R2-D2 coin that was part of my collection of R2-D2 stuff, and being dumb as fuck, I ignored my sister trying to tell me that we could have a large amount of money, because I thought she was trying to be mean and take away my R2-D2 coin, so mom made her drop it entirely. When I got older (I'd say this was about...'06?), and I stumbled onto all 3 coins in my closet, I realized that I basically threw away $1,000 over a fucking Pog that just happened to have a character I like on it. I honestly wanted to go back in time and punch myself for being so stupid.
