economist suntribune tests of tolerance thursday dec 5 2002 same phrase repeated from page 3 ing to growl like dan hedaya the under rated actor whose incessant phone con versations drive mr hanks tide charac ter joe to the brink of suicidal despair in the quirky romantic fantasy i spoke those same phrases endlessly at pacific mall in milliken browsing through the racks of a kiosk called bra outlet staring intendy at a hello kitty door chime and pawing at rows of pack aged shark fins i know he can do the job but does he want the job i howled as i selected a mens pocky snack food and then paid for it by pitilessly thrusting out a twenty and without really acknowl edging the cashier grabbing the change in my fist as i continued talking loudly the woman showed no reaction except perhaps in her eagerness to see me off but a few minutes later i was at it again yakking it up while chewing my pocky sticks in the foyer of the milliken mills public library again no response i know he can do the job but does he want the job i barked at the milliken mills community centre where i tried leaning in towards children and parents headed for hockey practice one child exiting the library did look at me but he was wearing a scream mask a design modeled on a horror movie series so he may just have wanted attention littered a lot but no one seemed to care by hannelore volpe staff writer i came i sat or stood and i littered so who cared not many peo ple judging by reaction to my tossing crumpled pieces of paper tissues coffee cups and a small milk carton around three locations in stouffville well maybe they did care but were such polite canadians that not many said anything either that or they wouldnt admit they had even seen anything now i have to say i never lit ter im also a mother who if i have said it once ive said it a thousand times pick that up and third people in our town will think im a nut however duty called- so i took my place in line at the dri vers licencing office and casually tossed out one tissue then another and then another one woman just at the edge of my peripheral vision was glaring at me but when i explained what i was doing and why she claimed she didnt see a thing people in line behind had to have seen something too there were about six squashed tissues on the floor at my feet by the time i finished and i did see them looking at me quiedy then i picked up all the litter and took it to tim hortoris i sat where people were facing me i tossed out a few tissues while one man was looking at me as he ate his lunch his wife had her back to me a couple of guys were at another table but didnt say anything by the time i went up to the man at the other table facing me to explain what id been doing the floor was covered with seven tissues a
