Door to door salesmen have probably been covered, but my god how annoying. Get a knock on our door right as we're sitting down for dinner. I tell ,my wife not to open but she does anyway and gets treated to a ten minute pitch on how we need to spray for spiders around our house (even though I've maybe seen 3 spiders in my house in the 4 years we've lived here). The guy wouldn't STFU even after my wife said multiple times we aren't interested. I almost got up to put the guy in his place.
I would like to extend this to ALL people who try to sell me stuff unsolicited. I am not interested and most likely will never be interested. If I were I would've done research and went with who I wanted for it.
She does know that she can just shut the door, right?
She's too nice. Even considering this, after her second or third "Sorry we're not interested" she finally came out with "I'm going to have to cut this short" at which point the guy said have a nice day and walked away. I wouldn't mind it so much if they would stop and leave the first time we say we're not interested, but to keep on going, is just flat out rude.
Is this really an effective sales tactic? Do people really cave in after being hounded and badgered by these people?
