Clean sweep

He’s had a few bad experiences, I take it. :P

First rule – smile or dance but get in the door.

He’s a “slippery” little thing, isn’t he?

No way to brush him off…

SAFE!

Missed the lecture on “Get your foot in the door.”

He’s got a customer as long as the door is open.

This gives a whole new meaning to getting your foot in the door

“Mind if I come in?”

Door to door spammers.

Borderline harassment…

Should have given him the brush off

WHATASALESMAN!!

I hope he gets the name to put on his grave, should he ever choose to mark it.

I don’t even open the door for those guys anymore. I don’t need windows, siding or lawn care.

Back as a kid a vacuum salesman came to the door. He knocked so mom opened the door. He promptly tossed a handful of dirt on the wooden floor then announced he had the right tool to clean that up. My never blinking said I have one for you. She handed him a broom she kept by the door. Now sweep it up before I whip your ass with that broom. He quietly swept the dirt out the door. Thanked her for her time and left.

TOUCHDOWN!!

The ol’ foot in the door trick just doesn’t cut it anymore.
