Can't Take The Hint? Use Rejection Hotline

The dating scene is full of people who can't take a hint or can't take "no" for an answer (and many who apparently can't take showers, can't brush their teeth, or can't seem to go out in social settings without awkwardly embarrassing themselves).

Anyway, the Rejection Hotline exists as a simple alternative to uncomfortable situations and it is a public service to both the rejector and to the rejectee. The rejector has an easy way to get rid of unwanted suitors, to express a lack of interest in a non-confrontational manner, and to gracefully escape an uncomfortable situation.

You simply give a local number to the person, and when they call it, a recording tells them they've been rejected. Here's part of the recording: "Hello, this is not the person you were trying to call. you've reached the rejection hotline. The person who gave you this number did not want you to have their real number. We know this sucks, but don't be too devastated. So why were you given the rejection hotline number? Maybe you are just not this person's type. Note: this could mean short, fat, ugly, dumb, annoying, arrogant, or just a general loser. Please, do your best to forget about the person that gave you this number, because trust us, they've already forgotten about you."

The rejectee, on the other hand, is able to hear the bad news in the privacy of his/her own home without being subjected to public embarrassment and/or ridicule from anyone who otherwise might have witnessed a more public rejection.

Further, there are no unanswered "what if's," no desperate assumptions of "I must have just mis-dialed," and no ambiguity - all of which are common by-products of the *randomly selected fake numbers which were more common before the advent of the Rejection Hotline.

The San Antonio rejection number: (210) 299-7568. To find a local number for your area, log on to the rejection hotline website at: http://www.rejectionhotline.com/numbers_and_cities.php

The Rejection Hotline is rated PG-16 by the Rejection Services Association of America. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 16.

Back in my single days, my sister and I gave out the 'dial a prayer' number all the time.

As a record-holder in the field of rejections I must say this idea is horrible and would totally suck. :depressed
