It bugs me when I read these Rejection Therapy stories and I see them using it as an excuse to be a jerk, like lying to a taxi driver and asking for a free fare. In one of the other stories, they said that it's about making a human connection with people you otherwise wouldn't have. I think that's a beautiful idea, and makes me want to try it. But this "I'm going to try to exploit your goodwill and see if I can get away with it" thing? No thanks.
