You showed that sales man didn’t you tough guy.

That’s not as bad as the phone ringing when you’re sleeping.

Was once an ad rep for a newspaper, [when there were still newspapers] and got all kinds of excuses from some for not buying. Kept the good ones and still use them as needed when the doorbell rings. Used them on the phone, too, until I just stopped answering sometime in the early 2000’s. Found the answering message and the following silence work very well.

Years ago a person shared with me how to stop insurance salesmen from bothering me. “ Buy some. They’ll stop. “

From the Salesman’s perspective: Why are these people always eating when I come to visit?

Apparently, the salesman could smell her cooking a mile away

My dad taught me how easy it was to slam the door in a salesperson’s face.

And he really needs cookware for the cold cuts.

He is evidently the the top salesman for that company. He won’t take, “No” for an answer.

It was refer ten people and get a set free…

Yep, I knew he’d return with his arms full. Love it.

Sort of like a bald man buying shampoo.

“Never mind that, just think of the cooking we/you can do now!!”
