Title: I freaking hate door to door solicitors
Post by: BIG ACH on January 16, 2015, 05:26:38 PM
So earlier today I had a solicitor come to the door of my house, my wife answered (not knowing who was there) and I was in the other room, but I could hear this fast talker, guy is giving her this long story how he is a part of this organization of young guys trying to turn their lives around, blah blah blah and does she believe in second chances etc etc going on and on and not getting to the point, I felt at that point my wife was stuck, so finally I had enough and walk to the door (I'm not even in pants, I'm in boxer briefs lol) and I'm like "how can I help you?" And he goes "I thought you'd never ask" and the the truth comes out and he tells us he is selling magazine subscriptions, so I'm like "no thank you", and he goes "can i ask why you don't want to help out?" And I go "just not interested" so his reply was "Ok thank you, I'll be sure to tell your neighbors you couldn't afford it!" and I'm like "yeah whatever" and shut the door!

Is that his, "in your face" moment?  Am I supposed to run after him and be like, oh please please don't tell my neighbors I'll buy all your magazines!!  Fucking idiot!

Good going Big Mach.

Best thing would have been him talking for hours THINKING he'd reel in your wife making her buy some subs, and then you enter and say "No Thanks" shutting the door in his face.

He was an FBI agent tracking terrorist activity.  he wanted to insult you and have you retaliate so they can then aerate you with 100 rounds, claim a gun fight and that they found suspicious wires in your home leading them to beleive that you wanted to bomb the police station down the street.  Good for you for not reacting.

Yes.  Phone calls and shopping center charity panhandlers are bad enough but when they actually come around knocking on your door?  There oughta be a law!!!

I don't get many but I generally repeat no thanks and throw in a good luck while doing the Basile door-close.  A young man caught me in a bad mood one day so I advised him this was no way for a man to make a living and he should get a proper job, which was mean but also honest.  Been intending to memorize a few bible verses and ask them if they've heard the good news, but my overtrolling here leaves me little time to do it irl.

Good on ya for keeping your cool.  That kid's gonna be lucky to get through a day without getting smashed if he keeps making shitty comments, if that brings any satisfaction.

I still buy cookies and chocolates from kids as I know they get turned down everywhere else, lol... Feel bad for them. Last time one had this hot mom with him and felt like asking if she wanted to contribute 20$ to her son's cause by spending 5-7 minutes with me while her kid waited outside.

Good thing I had just jerked off before they knocked on my door or...

Most of those door to door magazine guys are part of a scam. They generally say they are working their way through college. You will never see a single magazine.They go from town to town like gypsies and even state to state.

In June 9, 2004 in Toms River NJ the next town over from where I live the magazine salesman asked to use the bathroom of an elderly lady. He saw her check book on a table and put it in his pocket. The woman saw it and confronted him. He killed with both blows, bludgeoned, and stabbed her to death. Do a search if you want more information on this murder.

I live in a relatively rich section of a modest town. Salesmen are always at my door. Solar power, free energy waste assessment, lawn care and others. They follow a script to counter every thing you have to say regarding not being interested. Keep going and you will see how quickly their demeanor will change into aggression.

This is how I handle it. I tell them once I'm not interested as soon as the stranger starts his motor mouth. Then I slam the door in his face as he's talking.

I live in a nice, proper community of about 50 or so townhouses and there is one homeowner who parks his car out front instead of parking out back in the garage where all the other civilized human beings do so.

Guess the race.

There is always that one token amongst us who brings along with him his ghetto savage ways.

Thinks because he married some overweight white woman he is somebody all of the sudden.  ::)

If anyone is trying to sell magazines at your door, tell them you aren't interested. But ask them if they have a VHs player for sale or a walkman cassette tape deck player. When they tell you they don't, tell them "ya I figured, maybe it's time we both move to the 21st century don't you think"

This is so odd.....

I do a lot of nonprofit work for the local Boys and Girls Club.  Our area is running out of funding, mind you I've donated over $100k this year alone and we're just halfway through January,  so today I decided to donate my time going throughout the neighborhood to see if the community felt 1) a need for the program and 2) a willingness to donate.

Most people were friendly, which was nice given the fact that we came to their homes unannounced,  and many were gracious enough to donate (for as little as a $5 gift they were eligible for a magazine subscription ($5-15 = 3 months, $16+ got a year depending on the magazine).

Towards the end of my run, about 5 o'clock, I came to this one home where a woman answered the door. I explained the situation to her several times but she wouldn't commit to donating,  she just kept asking me to repeat myself. After numerous times of thanking her I tried to walk away but she kept asking what she could do to help.

After about 30 minutes of the endless back and forth her husband emerged from the back, covered in sweat wearing nothing but off white tube socks and soiled boxer briefs that were about 3 sizes to small. He suspiciously eye balled me and asked what I wanted. I explained my mission to him and he laughed and asked if I worked out (mind you its pretty obvious to everyone I do, I try to dress modestly and stay covered up but at my size there's only so much I can do  :-\ ).  

Now the "gentleman" standing before me was a heavy set perma bulker at best, I could sense his true intentions, he had been sizing me up,  so I quickly said no. He stared me down and the was an awkward silence for what seemed to be an eternity before he said, "it figures". The next 15 minutes were spent of him talking, non stop, about being a bodybuilder, competitions he'd done and been to,  he and his friends drug free stance, who he's meet, schoming, etc...

I politely tried to excuse myself from the conversation when he stopped to wipe the sweat from his breasts, as I was well aware they had no intention of donating, but as I did he hurriedly mumbled something about meeting "the big ache ( at least this is what I think he said)" as he glanced nervously at the soiled crotch area on his under pants.  By now I had had enough and starting walking away when he shouted "I can't stand you Hebrews! "

Not knowing how to take that as an african american and being he was some type of Arab living in an almost exclusive Jewish community I simply stated that I would gladly inform his neighbors of his comments.  At that he slammed his door and I left.

Some people.

Our neighbors house got egged when I was a kid but instead of regular eggs they used fertilized eggs so there were all these half developed chicken fetuses splattered all over their front porch.  When they heard the noise and came out I guess some of them were still moving, doing their best to crawl back inside the busted shells.  I guess it was pretty horrific.

If this person was a Getbigger, he surely did not have many posts as he was busy trolling door-to-door in person.  The least he could've done was show his striated glutes or something!!!  Offering me some subscriptions to FLEX doesn't cut it!!!  The nerve!

You should have asked him, how many people read magazines now, let alone pay for a ton of subscriptions to ones that you don't read.

Had a buddy who traveled around the country with a group who sold magazines for about a year in his early 20's.

He would just go door to door and lie through his teeth saying he was a poor college student at the local college and was raising money for tuition.

The 2 "mangers" were a couple coke head pricks who would dick the kids out of money and what little money the kids made was wasted at the bar and on ecstasy that night.

I had one gave me the whole "woe is me routine" and sold me some magazines while I was working on a job out of town years ago and of course the magazines never came.

So earlier today I had a solicitor come to the door of my house, my wife answered (not knowing who was there) and I was in the other room, but I could hear this fast talker, guy is giving her this long story how he is a part of this organization of young guys trying to turn their lives around, blah blah blah and does she believe in second chances etc etc going on and on and not getting to the point, I felt at that point my wife was stuck, so finally I had enough and walk to the door (I'm not even in pants, I'm in boxer briefs lol) and I'm like "how can I help you?" And he goes "I thought you'd never ask" and the the truth comes out and he tells us he is selling magazine subscriptions, so I'm like "no thank you", and he goes "can i ask why you don't want to help out?" And I go "just not interested" so his reply was "Ok thank you, I'll be sure to tell your neighbors you couldn't afford it!" and I'm like "yeah whatever" and shut the door!

Is that his, "in your face" moment?  Am I supposed to run after him and be like, oh please please don't tell my neighbors I'll buy all your magazines!!  Fucking idiot!

would it change your view of the door to door sales man if he had arrived in a used Jaguar?

I watched The Time Machine from 2002 the other day and wondered why i'd never seen this guy in another movie but he was in Office Space, couldn't remember. Really good actor.

I have a small sign on my front door.  It works quite well.  If they're dumb enough to knock anyway, I just won't answer or open the door and point to the sign in front of their face.
Next, the door mat that says...not welcomed...or, fuck off.

I miss the Jehovah Witnesses.  Haven't had one of them at my door in years.  Got woken up by a hot black one years ago.  Answered the door in my sweat slack (free style) while sporting morning wood.  Would like to be able to say she couldn't keep her eyes off it, but I'd only be speculating.

This shit just happened to me, knock on the door and it's a Hebrew in a Goodrum looking thrift shop suit claiming to be selling magazines and had a big list of signatures which was apparently all my neighbors who'd signed for it  ::)

I thought he was just casing my house to rob it TBH especially as he asked if he'd set off the alarm  ::) so I told him "good luck with that" - people don't actually fall for this do they? After the Rottie jumped at the door I doubt he'll be back

He was indeed smaller and weaker, but he was a brother, not white!

These door to door magazine sellers are always Hebrews. Annoying as fuck and usually a lie about them trying to turn their lives around.  ::)

At my buddies house one day and some Hebrews were selling some bullshit cleaner for your car; yadda yadda the police were called into this white neighborhood soon  ;D

The problem is, there are door to door sales people who are legit. Either its for a political party (some intern) or someone trying to switch your interent provider as it comes available in your area, bulk food sales, vacuums,
Knives, or some bloke trying to start up his own company and get some sales. etc. We had one college grad a few weeks back switch our cable provider and she was great. Sales is a tough as shit gig. eSPecially door to door. I try to be kind to anyone that comes as i know its a tough gig. I always ask them how my neighborhood is treating them when they come by. If i dont feel like talking i just dont answer.

I did have one sketch dude try to fuck with me when i said i wasnt interested. Starting commenting about my big screen tv and shit. Creeeped me out.

People forget that business IS sales. So when someone is a hue prick to a sales rep, they are the type that will never own a business or have a successful one. Without sales, all businesses would fail
