before dawn
The run-up to election day is always rife with radio and television ads. They're annoying enough (although they don't seem as ghastly this year as they did last year, or maybe I'm just not paying as much attention). But sure enough, at the top of the stairs to the train this morning, one of them was thrusting flyers at people as they approached the steps to the train. It always amazes me that they don't realize most people don't want any of this before the sun is up. Well, this guy had gotten a "no thank you" from the person two ahead of me, as a result of which he peevishly said "I guess some people don't care what's happening to their country." As I result of which I was somehow awake enough to say, "Maybe some people don't want to have anyone shove something at them and have their way blocked on their way to work."
