Pepsi or Coke?..Have you been saved today

I moved to Kansas about 2 months ago from South Dakota. There hasn't been much difference noticed between the two states (except a bit more poverty in Kansas) until today. As of 10 a.m. today, every single being I've encountered in Kansas, minus the grumpy gas station clerk, has come off as a genuinely nice person (aka...i didn't walk away from a conversation thinking that person was an asshole.)
This morning, a guy came to my apartment to spray for bugs - a routine maintenance thing I guess - and when he was done, he asked me "You like Pepsi or Coke?"
Perplexed and having no brand loyalty, I said i didnt care. Then he asks if Im prolife or prochoice. I again don't give a damn.
He then goes off about how Pepsi uses aborted fetuses or some shit to enhance taste.
:shock: :shock: :shock: Who are these people finding it proper and suitable to bring up such contentious issues with a perfect stranger?
I knew Kansas had religious nut jobs,.. but I didn't know I'd end up letting one in my home.
He also pissed me off because when I told him I didn't have an opinion, as I get paid to be an objective reporter, he then said "You must be a liberal if you're in the media."
What a dick. I kind of wish the unplugged porch was playing at the time. WOuld have been perfect.
Anywho...thanks for listening.

Yup. I lived there (Emporia/Lawrence/KC) & there are a LOT of people like the pepsi or coke guy.

i agree
1. do you prefer men or women?
2. do you fantasize about dead bugs when you are with men or women sexually?
3. do prefer fetus beer, fetus pepsi, or fetus sweet tea with your fetus pizza?
4. where do you go for your fake tan?
tell him he has 10 minutes to finish the test or no desert.
by the way, Coke all the way
had some witnesses come by selling magazines one morning, back in our drinking days
not quite sober yet, i asked him in for coffee
told him i couldn't read
but i would buy a tv guide
then my even less sober husband got up in his russia sucks t-shirt and his still pony-tailed hair all askew
inquiring as to the events in the kitchen
i stage-whispered he's a serial killer but it's ok i told him we didn't have any
our guest left his fresh cup of coffee
scooted back to the witness van with probably the best story of the day
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
any time i get somebody selling something, i just open the door, say no thanks, and shut the door before they can say a word
that's where the not quite sober part came in to play
or came out to play
either way
i enjoyed it
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
What the funk? you didn't call him on that absurd statement??
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
sometimes, with people like this, it's best to just nod and say uh huh
damn i miss eyed a times like these
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
I live on the 2nd floor and discovered the other day that if my kitchen window is open I could use the kitchen sink hose to spray someone who is at my front door
so that's why the pepsi truck stops at the local clinic every day at 2!
and all this time i thought he was innocently filling the vending machines :shock:
do i live a sheltered life or what????

Coke probably only uses afterbirth, cause its not as sweet as Pepsi.
oh that's just wrong
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
Not sure where this is going, my coworker shoots me an "oh, shit" type of look and answers the guy by saying, "No... not particularly."
The guy responds, "Me, neither. I like pussy bestest." and walks away.
went to mail a package at UPS & they girl starts "testifying" to me...
it was beyond awkward & i was pretty annoyed. she was asking lots of personal questions....
the transaction should have taken 2 minutes tops....around minute 10, i asked to have the package back & left. it was ridiculous. i was being polite at first...but after i'd said "can you just mail this for me, i'm not interested" at least 4 times, i'd had enough. she was shocked when i took it from her hands.
