I awoke to the sound of someone knocking on my door but didn't physically get up to answer it.
My roommate was up and about and did answer it. The following exchange took place:
Roommate: Hi. What can I do for you?
Solicitor: Hi! We're in your building campaigning for Obama!
Spoken with extreme pity...as if speaking to a leper or a terminal cancer patient in great pain:
Roommate: Sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon...or die....
Solicitor: *shocked into silence*
I heard the door close. Roommate laughed gutturally and sardonically, obviously amused with his grand performance.
He called the concierge to file a complaint. We live in a high security building with strict anti-solicitation rules.
A few hours later I was wandering aimlessly around the apartment, when I noticed that someone had slid an Obama/Biden flyer under my door.
Persistent little farks.
