Oh Metro Lady, how many times must I tell you NO!?

Oh I am so with you on this one. That woman's like a coiled spring. If I want the Metro, I'll ask for it - you don't need to step in front of me and try to force it on me. I think I've seen her at the Burrard Skytrain station too. She pretty much blocks your way when you're trying to go down the stairs from Burrard Street.

i despise anyone getting in my way to hand me a daily newspaper. i would rather choke myself than take the paper. i don't know that woman in particular but i love the people that start off trying to give people the paper until they just kind of stand there looking apathetic and bored.

I asked her if she could just poop in my hand instead...she wasn't impressed.

Do they get paid as to how many they actually can give away per day? Because some of them are so annoying, that they MUST get paid by the number given!

I heard that they have to stand there until they give away their entire stack. Sucks for the guys at Commercial Stn. I've seen them there until 3pm

They're not all like that, most don't bug me at all and the lady at Burrard & Georgia is actually quite nice.

I've actually started to walk down the west side of bute just to avoid her. she just drives me nuts! But, I had a friend who had her "friendly 24 guy" at Robson & Burrard forever. I know someone who works for the company who hires these people... i'll ask if they get paid by piece. he might know.

I wish I had the cash to fly out there I'd sit on the ground and make it my mission I my life to pester the living shit out of her, like she is appearantly doing the everyday people, wishing to at most be cordial and cary on to work. This person is an ass hole, and in my oppinion is harrassing society into insanity. She should be blasted at simiclose range by broad band rubber bands fired at my will ( as many as I can fire off untill she leave the poor person is able to walk away, or she goes away or starts locking in on her ol man Satan, that started her doing the shit in the first place!

Some one please pay me, I'd even wear a pink Tu Tu. or something so obnoctious that She would find Satan layed back material to screw with.

This is a les than lethal use of force.

'I have a plan'

you guys are really quite pathetic. the woman is doing her job and you seem to be enjoying the possibility to pester her. get a life... better yet, get lost!

I feel like an asshole just reading this - your 'lives' are so difficult, so set upon by the newspaper hawkers that you need to take a tiny bit of your obviously immense leisure time to write anonymous hate letters to them? Icch, give me a break....

I agree that you guys are being complete a-holes. The only thing horrible about this situation are the ads in the paper, but to hate someone for doing their job while you are heading to and back from the gym is the most yuppiest, snobby ways of thinking ever. go to the third world and suffer you bitch.

I never said I hated her. All I said was that I wanted her to stop trying to force something on me.

On some street corners I've seen a pan-handler sitting next to a newspaper carrier. I see a great opportunity for the beggar to become employed.
