Ooooh, GC reminded me of one that is particularly Californian.
I hate hate hate being accosted to sign my name to a stupid petition (or multiple petitions) for a ballot measure every time I walk out of my friggin Safeway. Some jerk shoves a clipboard in my face with "Help stop the killing of cute puppies," or something equally facile. Once I realized that my signature was worth $1 to them, my newest tactic is to offer my signature on any petition for .50 each. Only seems fair. Nobody has taken me up on my generous offer. Yet.
