3 Ways to Avoid public Outreach

Public Outreach is responsible for all of those nice looking people who wear vests and ask if you "have a minute for ____ today?"

I am in no way trying to discourage people from talking to them, hearing about their great causes, and/or donating money. 

They are, however, driving me crazy by asking me that question every few feet, every day, regardless of how many minutes I have given to ___ in the past.

I shouldn't egg him on but I LOVE his insults.

The Mystery of the Wet Oven

Recently a friend stayed over after we'd had a couple of drinks. I woke up in the morning to find the oven door open and water everywhere...
I immediately asked her about it.

I asked Zander about it, and he said that it had been closed and dry when he went to bed (before we got home).
 I wiped it up and went to work.  But I couldn't stop thinking about it.
You see, this had happened to me 5 years before, with a different friend in a different apartment:

 

In that case, I had turned the oven on a few days later and discovered that it wasn't really water...

My brain couldn't accept the fact that it was just water this time,  but it also couldn't comprehend the idea of having two different friends pee in two different ovens...

It was an awkward situation...

Finally, I just had to ask.

Upon further remembering, we realized that she had needed to pee on the walk home and hadn't before she went to bed.
She also admitted that her pants were undone when she woke up.

So. I'm the friend who will clean up your oven pee.
