Those Verizon guys were out of line! My husband baits the religious sales pitchers with outright lies. I could never do that.

I don't even answer the phone when I'm busy. I NEVER open my door for strangers!! We taught my DD this years ago and I go by it too. I'm just not a trusting person anymore. I also don't answer my phone if I don't know who's calling. Next just keep on working!! I'd love to win your book too!! Thanks, Sue Hi, you were nice when you went to the door!!

Most women wouldn't go NEAR the van! I keep wondering if these bully tactics work. They must, but they sure don't work on me! Debra, that would make me cranky too!

I do not like door-to-door sales! In my neighborhood it's taken to a whole new level. On Saturday my husband was painting the house (trying to finish before winter weather descends). A lady stopped at the gate and asked if he lived here. He said yes and she proceeded to offer her services to trim three of our many, many bushes for a mere $5.00. When he said no thanks, she then offered to sell him a recliner she had in the back of her van for a mere $5.00. She insisted it had only been sat in once or twice. Obviously she'd picked it up on the side of the road. Ragged, dirty, and clearly it had been sat in much more than once or twice. When I returned home and my husband related this tale, I had one question: "Why did you look in her van?" Seemed like a fair question to me. His response was that he didn't want to be rude. Ha! Now that made me cranky! Cranky can be good sometimes! I do not like door-to-door sales! In my neighborhood it’s taken to a whole new level.

Hence the presence of a PERPETUALLY LOCKED GATE barring all intruders from darkening my doorway. It's the best I could hope for considering subdivisions don't allow electric fences or moats boasting Nessie's American cousins.

I'd stuff my freezer! These days, it's just not safe to go door to door for kids (without parents). Actually, it probably wasn't all that safe ever. We're just more aware :-) Terry, I wish they were still that price! I’d stuff my freezer! These days, it’s just not safe to go door to door for kids (without parents).

And great line about insult me like that will make me buy. I agree with you about parents trying to sell for their kids. That I can usually get around by ignoring the parent and talking to the kid. Great formula for buying GG cookies! by Jen Lyon October 26th, 2009 at 4:08 pm Cele, I don’t think you’re being bitchy at all! And great line about insult me like that will make me buy.
