Stupid anoying kids
It is the end of the year again, as everyone already knows.
Where I live, it is tradition that the kids that bring the newspapers around, come to your door, give you a card with holiday and new year greetings, you give them some money as a "thank you for delivering the newspaper the whole year" and they go away buying candy or whatever.
So today, the bell rang, I opened the door, and there were these two boys. They handed me their cards, said their greeting thingie " the westlanders paper wishes you very happy new year blahblah". And I gave the kids some money.
Then my brother came home from work, the bell rang again (this was about 20 minutes after the two kids left) My brother opened, and from the living room, I heard kids saying the new year greeting thing. So when my brother came inside to look for some money, I asked him which paper it was, he said he didn't know.
I took over here, and brought the kids the money, and took their greeting card. It was the same newspaper, only different kids.
I looked out the up-stair window, and saw a bunch of kids going around the block, ringing the doorbells and collecting money.
This really pissed me off.
Later that night, the bell rang again, and yet again someone from that same newspaper, my mother opened this time, saying she was not going to give anymore money to them.
The sad thing is, the last one turned out to be the real deliverer of the newspaper. When my mother told him she already gave money, he even knew what she was talking about, from all the around the neighborhood he had heard the same thing. "Sorry boy, I'm not giving anymore money"
When the newspaper arrives, there is nobody home, so we didn't know who was the real deliverer.
So because of those stupid little brats, the boy that really worked for it, didn't get his new years tip money.
I just can't stand that kind of crap, if those kids really want to earn some money, they should start delivering newspapers themselves.
