and these folk dont read the actual petitions they're signing?
I always stop and talk to the petition folks...many times to see exactly what bill-of-goods they're selling and if its being done on the up and up.
when you start hearing "oh thats just the one to blah blah blah" and they try to rush you through it...yeah, I read every word. I've caught more than one that either has no idea what it is youre being asked to sign (most cases) or has outright lied/been so far wrong as to the intent as to be a lie.
so ok, guess that counts as a peeve of mine.
