The last few weeks or so I have injured my feet so many times.
Sprained my ankle and practically dislocated it last year, Stubbed toes on numerous occasions.
Dropped a chest of drawers on it while moving it to a better location,
Badly sprained my left little toe - sunbird stood on it It swelled up like a balloon. A small, pink balloon. A miniture fat pinky purple sausage balloon for the fairies teaparty.That made “ouch” noises when you touched it.
Sliced my other little toe on the bathroom carpet holder. it bled like a woman.
Walked 8 miles on the 26th, now i have bruised, sore ankles from my walking boots and the soles of my feet are actually bruised and swollen
And to top it off today, I knocked over a heavy glass while washing dishes and it landed on my toes.

I mean COME ON! It’s a conspiracy. Somebody, somewhere, does not want me to have feet. They want me to injure them so much that they’ll turn black and fall off!!
Or make me so angry that i’ll want body modification and have them amputated. (prosthetic limbs have no feeling.)
Why are my tootsies being punished? Did I perform a wrong, evil bipedular act in a former life, and now I’m being punished for it?
What crime are my feet capable of anyway? Is there a foot policeforce? a footsquad? a footcrimes division? a bipedular act 1987? a foot may not cause harm to other feet, or genitalia.
Did I kill to many bugs?
What is wrong with this picture? is it coincidence or karma?

Or am I just plain clumsy?

I answered the door two weeks ago to a 6 foot asian guy from a power supplier (Powergen). Now the last few weeks I’ve already had 2 other supply companies knocking trying to persuade me to change from British Gas.

He said my details wasn’t down on record, and that we were paying the higher rate when we could be paying a lower rate. So I told him my name, how many rooms/radiadors, if we had a washing machine etc. he had a look at both gas and electricity meters. He said nothing about actually changing supplier, and the guy calculated how much I would be paying with British Gas. He said they were the most expensive supplier (we’re with them because they’re greener than other companies). Now I was away with the faries today as I was really tired, and it wasn’t until after I signed my name and closed the front door that the guy had duped me into changing suppliers!

Ok I know its my fault for not being more alert, but the guy said NOTHING about what I was signing was a contract to change supplier. He probably guessed I must have known.

but I’m quite a simple person, and if someone doesn’t tell me exact details about things like this, I go along with it.

I thought he was from a company offering discounts through them on behalf of British Gas.

How naive I was!

But the point of this post is the way these people are driven to sign up as many people as they can for commissions. He could have done this to anyone who had their mind elsewhere. Probably an old lady.

Anyway, anyone had similar experiences of pushy salesman/misunderstandings?
How did you handle the situation?

Cheers,
A naive Tink
