I freaking hate door to door solicitors

Simple solution: show up naked & those guys will never ever show up

magazine sales---that whole turning their lives around spiel.
Some have criminal backgrounds. The one's who they work for usually do. It's a way of getting your info.
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.

Who needs magazines when you have the Internet anyway

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.

Only if he was selling secrets to contest dieting

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.

Need to call his organization and report the prick. Bullshit.

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

And stop.

Close the door.

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

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
