Dear People Who Don’t Want a Flyer
When you see someone standing with a bunch of flyers for the local take-away, restaurant or nightclub, what are you thinking? Because I am one of these terrifying purveyors of advertising material sometimes, and I’d like to let you in on a few trade secrets. It might help you to feel less frightened and/or annoyed and help me and my fellow hander-outterers to have a better day.
Firstly, no-one wants to be doing this job. You may be surprised to learn that we don’t have little kids sitting in maths or English dreaming of the day that they can stand around and hand out slips of paper to people. That said, it’s often a choice between rushing around, wiping sweat off my forehead and looking after hen’s parties or standing outside in (maybe) sun and ogling attractive Englishmen. Hmm. What a choice. Hmmmmm. Obviously being a bit of a creep is going to win out every time. Basically, I’m just asking you to have a bit of understanding and realise that we are people who really wouldn’t mind a smile to liven up a probably dull couple of hours. Especially if you happen to be an attractive Englishman. You could even have a go at a wink, you know, if you wanted.
