solicitors-what if

I have a general dislike and suspicion of door-to-door traveling salesmen (or web site to web site). I resent their knock on my door. I resent their arrogant intrusion.

If I want info, if I want to buy something I'll search for it.

Hang your open for business sign on YOUR door---stay away from mine.

IF what you have is so profound--"viral" as you suggest impressively--your success is guaranteed.

I had to laugh. Recently, I was standing in a public telephone box in Cornwall, waiting for a return call from my husband. It rang, I answered, only to be told that records had shown me as eligible for compensation for mis-sold insurance.

Are they really out to get me or does the telephone kiosk have a life we can only imagine?

How funny--

reminds me of the comment, "I'm not paranoid, I just know everyone is out to get me."

I agree! I hate shopping and I hate being solicited. I read Consumer Reports and I've made a few poor purchases but I want it to be my decision. Want to go off in the woods like Emerson and live simply. Anyone with me :D

I am a door to door salesman.

I was a Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist before my symptoms got too bad to continue helping people heal. I am a natural born healer...

But now I walk the streets and my boss insists that I knock on 30+ doors around dinner time. (It's when you are home). I have to make my % numbers, otherwise i'm fired... I hate disturbing you, but I really need the benefits, so I suffer the slings and arrows with a big smile, (forced, of course). So, what is my point?

Just like the able bodied people who have no clue what you are going through, don't assume that I want to annoy you, be kind, you don't have to buy what I'm trying to sell. Enjoy the interaction, have fun with it and smile, it ain't so bad....

Not what you're looking for?
