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.

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

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.

Learn to speak Japanese just so you can do this any time someone comes to your door

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"

I once got this really hot Mormon girl on a mission and trying to convert me to her faith. When my pick up lines didn't work, I then tried to convert her to Islam and she ran away :-D (true story)
