Mail and Jehovah's Witnesses

Two things we're not excited to find at our doorstep: Mail and Jehovah's Witnesses. Nowadays, we all seem to hate getting either one of these things.

We'll start with mail... all those damn envelopes and newspapers that get shoved into your mailbox, inside your door and under your mat, have become such a huge bother to everyone. It almost makes sense since the only real mail people are getting are bills, applications for credit cards and advertisements.

Mail used to excite people because it meant that someone out there cared enough about you to send you a piece of mail. Let's be realistic, it takes 10 times longer to write someone a personal note, seal it up and mail it out than to send an email. Now, each time we check our mail, with high hopes that something good has come, it only sends huge disappointment when it's just "junk mail."

Since email and the internet have become such popular ways of communication, the need to send someone a hand written note is virtually obsolete.

But let's not down technology because lucky for us, or at least me...several times a year, I'll get a group of visitors at my door.."Jehovah's Witnesses," who begin talking incessantly about whether or not I have a relationship with the Lord and who really do care so much about me that all they want to do is tell me about themselves while they proceed to hand me MORE unusable paper pamphlets that are enviably going straight into the trash. It's like getting DOUBLE the JUNK MAIL.

At least your email account can filter out all that bullshit.

Realistically, instead of these Jehovah's Witnesses making me and my dog go crazy, why don't they go walk themselves down to the local soup kitchen and they can give back to society for a change! It just shows that they really don't give a rat's ass about anyone.

So mail and Jehovah's Witnesses... they're a lot alike. Both come to the door, both are annoying as hell and both are impossible to get rid of. They continue to find you, wherever you go.
