I don't know if these guys are everywhere or just in rural areas like where I live. The usually pull up to your house driving a small truck with a deep freezer in the bed trying to sell you frozen meat. I never buy meat from these guys because I don't know where it came from and I don't like being disturbed at home.
This afternoon I heard my dog barking. He barks every time someone comes to the house. I look out and see it is a van selling frozen seafood. As I am mentally preparing my reason for not wanting to purchase said seafood I see that one guy has gotten out of his van and is yelling at my dog and charging at him in an aggressive manner. Now I'm not only mad because he has woke me up from my nap but because he is also antagonizing my dog.
I met him on my porch and flatly told him that I wasn't interested.
He said " What aren't you interested in ?"
I told him that I'm not interested in buying anything that he is selling. Then he tries to tell me that he is here to give me some food for free & I told him again that I was not interested.
So now instead of leaving like a normal person might, he just stands that staring at me.
I'm really starting to get angry so I told him that it was time for him to go get in his van, get the hell out of here and don't be threatening my dog.
So now he is yelling at me on my porch. He took a couple of steps out into the yard and yelled back " God Bless You " , but quickly followed up with " Suck a .... " He repeated this the whole way back to the van while giving me the finger.
Is this the future of salesmanship? All evening I have been completely dumbfounded by his attempt to intimidate me into buying his seafood that came from who knows where.
I'm sorry for the rant. I guess tomorrow I will go buy a sign to put at the end of the driveway that says " No Soliciting".
