"Excuse me, would you be interested in taking this survey on.."
"Well hello to you!" (Tip cap and continue walking without slowing down)

I don´t think i´d be able to say anything like that.
This is what happens every time a survey person talks to me:
"Hello. Can i trouble you a second?"
"Sure!"
and i answer a survey.
But we don´t get many survey thingies in the street in Iceland. We have Gallup phonesurveys though. And insurance sellers that call. I however, am fortunate enough to be one of those people that rarely get called for that kind of stuff
But, whenever i do get called, i'm usually positive about it and answer the questions.
I once worked for a month or two for one of those insurance sellers thingie, parttime with school. It was awful. I had to call people up, ask them to answer a questionnare thingie, and then at the end ask whether they wanted an insurance seller to call them and offer them insurance. Maaaan, that could be difficult. After that, i vowed to myself that i would never again work in any kind of phonecalling/phoneselling thingie. Oh, and this one time, when i called the number and asked for the person i had written down on the listthingie, the person who answered told me that the person had died. that was awful. i knew a guy who works in this kind of stuff for a living (what a loonie he is!), and he had experienced that deathreply more than once, or so i recall.
But I imagine it might be funny if someone being asked to answer a survey in the street would just starte mutely at the survey person. At least it would be odd.
Re: Hello
when people stop me in the street for stuff like that, whether its a survey or concern or whatever i usually just reply :"no im a STUDENT" and that works, im nearly sure i heard one of them mumble "i thought so" afterwards, i dont know whether i should be offended....

Re: Hello
More than likely...
The term "student" is used by many people (business men, shop owners, police, lecturers) in the same way others use "disgusting but necessary insect".
Re: Hello

I mean, we're on a message board with 4 semi-active users. If that's not elite, I don't know what is.

Re: Hello
we are the tr00est board going, the sheer fact that people are intimidated by our dark road makes us the pinnacle of darkness! \m/
And Eydís, how are boyfriends expensive?? i dinnae understand...

Re: Hello
I take it that you've never had a boyfriend then, dear pat
Trust me, boyfriends are expensive.
And there´s none more tr00 than i. I talked three girls into putting on corpsepaint and but blood (fake) on my cheek tonight and we proceeded to take some tr00 and grim pictures for a friend of mine. He needed fake groupies. The results are horrendous. In a hilarious manner of course. And grim.
Re: Hello
Is it not a good thing that ive never had a boyfriend?? that would be soooo untr00 if i did...
i want to see these goffick piccies please eydís!!

Re: Hello
It be untr00 to have a boyfriend? oh damn, that brings me down a couple of notches then. maaaan, now i´ll NEVER be tr00 and grim *goes into the corner to wail desperately*
"WHY, OH WHY, DEAR GOD, WHY ME!!!"
*realises she is in a semi-crowded computer room*
*smiles embarrasingly*
*smiles psychotically while humming "la la la laaa la la la.."
*walks slowly towards the door. then takes a run for it.*
Thank god there are no cameras around in the computer rooms, like in my old school, ayh?
You want to see these goffick piccies? oh dearie me.. well.. you must realise that they're.. erm.. done in the name of entertainment value, otherwise known as "oh, this sounds like a laugh. besides, i´ve got nothing better to do on a tuesday nite". So, laughing at the pictures is kind of obligatory.
Well, i'm at school as it is, and the piccies are at home.. but i can give you the url to the site of the fake band for which we took the pictures. Not all of the pictures are there, but the most grim looking ones are.

Read the text below the pictures. It's hilarious.
Oh, and yes, the pictures are in the gallery of the site.

Re: Hello
erm...i meant that; is it not a good thing that IVE never had a boyfriend, seeing as im male.......but my spidey senses tell me you used my sentence literally for comic value, and for that i say: Hail you Eydís! Queen of the Icelandic comedians!
~Patrick"sing the dark song of eireann to me"~ Sing To Me Sister Morrigu.
Re: Hello
erm. no. your spidey sense would be wrong. i often copy texts into the "writing box" in the reply section thingie, so i won´t have to scroll up and down all the time when i answer other posts, and then delete the text once i´ve answered it. and i forgot to delete it sorry.
*bashful* yes. women and computers. how come you ever let us women touch these complicated apparatus thingies?
anyway, now the world knows my secret. if i were smart, i´d edit the previous post and annihilate the evidence.. but i´m a lazy git, so the dirty little stain of my prefection will stay there, for eternity, for all to see. *dramatic pose*
and no witty remark on those tr00 and grim pictures? not even a giggle? what has the world come to
Re: Hello
Ah i see, well, we'll still love ya as one of our own. As long as you dont commit treason.
As for the pictures, i viewed them after posting here, so this is my first opportunity to comment. Quite funny indeed my dear, i especially like the little captions underneath the pictures, comic genius
Oh, and i had a dream, i was in Iceland, twas trés odd...
~Patrick"sing the dark song of eireann to me"~ Sing To Me Sister Morrigu.
we even beat the grim and tr00 elites the world over!!! 
sorry.
