Re: Poptarts & Hot Pockets: food of the gods.
"Now, almost every Saturday they show up, and I always tell them I'm running out the door to work."
There's your problem. Being too polite, trying not to offend.
For me, being polite means saying "No thanks" just before I add "Not interested" and shut the door in their faces. "Trying not to offend" mostly means not wasting my time telling them what I really think of them.
They've disrupted MY day. I hope they ARE offended.
