    Video/pics or we're just going to have to assume that they all said No.:grin:

    And to DeAleck - you are already assuming that Blue Bell is going to say No.
    I thought that that was part of the expirement? :confused:
    Just think of it as a day trip to Brenham for some free ice cream.

    Good luck and I hope you make it 100. And I know with the power of Clutchfans, you will never be in short supply of crazy requests.

    You just made people talk about Krispy Kreme in the land of Shipley's which is an accomplishment in itself. Think of what would happen if the same thing were to happen with Blue Bell? We're talking 5 star thread and possibly Olajuwon status!!

    You should try the following:
    Go to the Toyota Center and ask for free tickets.
    Ask for an upgrade at the airport.
    Ask for an upgrade at a hotel
    Ask for a raise at your job!

    Ask a comcast rep to put the rockets on normal tv... oh wait that isn't a ridiculous request at all.

    I agree with this assessment. Although she seems like a real angel, they would probably can her.

    I really want Jackie to be rewarded for her kindness. If every service person can be like her, the world would be a much, much better place.

    How about you guys help me out? If CF.net can help me to get the Jackie video (Day 3) to be viewed my more people (say 15k), I will challenge Krispy Kreme to give Jackie a raise. The company will then have every incentive to say yes for the positive publicity and to avoid backlash.

    I will also invite her to watch the Rockets game in San Antonio (12/7). Hopefully JLin can learn how to shoot by then.

    We don't need anymore LOFs, and you're a married man :grin:

    157 views so far, not too shabby. It may take some time, but 15k is inevitable with a few well placed tags

    Oh this is great. A cf.net'er who cares about entrepreneurship and self development. Very refreshing to see this on here.

    LOL, LOFs. Check out my history, rookie! You ever heard of Yao Ming? ;)

    Good ideas!

    #1: I live in Austin. But I will try it at this Saturday's UT game if my schedule permits.

    #2: Will do it on my next flight.

    #3: Can you tell me what 'a' is? Sounds like an awesome venture. ;)

    #4: I am an entrepreneur. If I pay myself more, my company might get shut down.

    DeAleck this is great from a personal devlopment standpoint. Almost like going out and getting rejected by girls to improve your pick up, but I think it would be more effective for your entrepreneur skills if you were to go try to find business this way. Offer them something for an extremely high price so that you'll get shot down, negotiate, etc.. Also pitch new business ideas to investors something like Shark Tank and get rejected. Who knows you may actually get funding in the process.

    I appreciate the suggestion and like the idea. I will for sure give it a try, but need to think about the format first. The good thing about Rejection Therapy is that it is easily done and I can quickly learn and improve. With sales/investment pitch, it is not that easy. I need to first find the leads, and when I do so, the cost of screwing up is quite high.

    I will think about it more though. Thanks for the suggestion.

    The free tickets idea is a very doable one. Not crazy, one time I got 2 club level seats given to me at a Texans game, so it can happen. If you're going to do it at the UT game it is Thursday night and not Saturday, just a heads up

    This is a cool project man. Glad you're getting over your fear, love seeing stuff like this. A lot of people recognize their fears/problem & also recognize what they have to do but are too lazy or scared to go through with a possible therapy or even a cure.

    Will keep up & support your blog.

    Wow. Jackie is a saint. People like that are a dying breed, especially in today's generation.

    Great project! I think you'll learn even more about yourself than just how to take rejection. Kudos to you.
