what do you do when the magazine people come to the door?

[gtc08]

this guy comes up, starts telling me to sign up for asmany things as possible. i told him nah man i already got 2 subscriptions. ilet him come in though and he tries to get into me more. i finally say no man, no thanks. he then asks if he can go to the bathroom i say alright. he comes out, we have like a 5 min convo.

apparently alot of these magazine people are from other states. i didnt even know that. i was like, you around the twin cities area, hes like no, im from pennsylvania, im like wtf.

then hes like we go across the country selling these mags. i then ask him how hes doing in my area. he says he got 1 signup,andthatmostpeople slam the door and cuss him out when he goesto all these houses.

im still kind of surprised that they have a nationwide thing where these people drive all across the country selling these mags.

its funny to that earlier he said justpick a mag everyone on your block is buying them, then he says hes gotten 1 signup so far

I don't open it.

 

[JakeT.]

They'll say whatever to make you buy stuff. It's not like they are ever gonna see you again.

Magazines are a tough sell with internet around

here is what i did when 2 chicks who were jehovah witnesses came to my door ...

i opened the door to find 2 hot chicks in their early 20's standing there , they start with the talk and hand me the little brochure .

i proceed to say :

" how would jehovah feel about witnessing a 3some with me and you 2 " ?

the look on those 2 faces was worth it ... needless to say their was no 3some that day for me ..

i got hit with one of these deals in nashville last week....talked really fast, said goofy stuff and was a little bit too personal for my liking. he was from AZ i think he said. magazine subscription was like 87 dollars for 24 issues. my girl was taking the bait and eventually figured out that it was a scam. if it was just me they would have got about 1 second of my time and if they persisted they would have been escorted from my property

 

[gtc08]

i used to let them kind of push me around, but now i dont really care. i just say no man.

For some reason, that is the one solicitor that hasn't made it to my front door.
Have read it's a terrible job, even for door to door. It sounded like it's about one rung up from white slavery. They basically kidnap these kids and take them around the country and then charge them for room and board. Kid usually ends up owing the boss in the end.
Naturally lots of booze and drugs involved.

I prefer the phone calls for life insurance

I tell them I was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, will you still insure me. After a time on hold, they say yes. I then tell them that I am a hemorphadite and what sex male or female rate will I get, they then put me on hold. I then tell them toplease mail the forms. After a few minutes of having fun, I hang up and sip my Single Malt. I also will say , please give me your home phone number and I will call you after work to discuss it some more, they always like that one.

I am so good at ignoring people that most dont even bother.........here in CR all you have to do is stop at a busy intersection and there is people trying to sell you anything you can possibly imagine.

The guys that hand you (or try to throw you) cards in Vegas were slightly puzzled with me.....they couldnt get me to look at their shit/take one card no matter how creatively they moved their hands ........

 

[CarolinaKid]

I tell them i read Playboy on line these days..........ck

I've found the cocking sound of a 12 guage shotgun to be effective in sending Christmas carolers on their way.
