Do you ever get any door-to-door salesmen anymore these days?

Ya! Every time I get drunk that bastard comes with Pizza Hut! I tell him I don't want it but he always gives me some bull crap about me ordering it online and makes me pay for it! Total scam!

Do hookers count?

not since i moved to the farm. those assholes arent going to come all the way out into the sticks to try to sell something worthless and risk being chased away by a crazy woman with a shotgun.

I didn't for the longest time, and then all of a sudden it was happening every few months. 2 or 3 energy salesmen, a vacuum salesman, a kid's book salesman-he came by 3 times, I ignored him once, and the second time my husband fucking actually told the guy to come back to talk to me, and he DID come back...I was pissed at my husband, he's so dumb, the guy tricked him into thinking he was with the school or some shit, a meat salesman and one other one but I can't recall what he was selling. I hate it. The book salesman was real annoying, he actually wanted me to high-five him, I was like....what???

Yes, once every couple of months, selling fish.

It's rare.

I had a Jehovahs Witness come to my door the other day and asked if I had a few minutes to talk. I invited him in and as he sat on the couch I asked ,"So what do you want to talk about?" He says," How the fuck do I know? I've never gotten this far before!"

You never see door to door paperboys
anymore.

Not since I was a kid. Some guy was trying to sell encyclopaedias. He said they had all the world's knowledge in there.

I couldn't for the life of me understand why a man with all the world's knowledge under his arm was wandering the streets trying to sell books to strangers who weren't interested.

We only ever get people from Gas or Electric companies coming round trying to offer us the 'best deal' (get us in a long contract and collect their commission).

I'd quite like some weedy guy in a suit to come round and try and convince me that ZASPLAT! spray is the best cleaning product around... Look at how it tackles grease and grime! You could even use it on your face in the mornings! And if it all gets too much, put that cyanide pill down Mr man! Just gulp some of this and drift off into pleasant convulsions and foaming at the mouth, no more worries!

ZASPLAT! The multi-purpose cleaner! Dirt be gone, just 1..2..ZASPLAT!

The days of ''Hey, my name is Mr. Smith, would you like to buy a dictionary'' are over.

I don't really remember having one come to my house. What a ''shame.''

What's the point anyways, when you can hop online and buy stuff instantly?

The comments on this thread are hilarious.

Yup, where I live we get a lot of meat sales people. Omaha Steaks, weird cuts of meat in freezers on the back of beat up pick up trucks, it's really weird. Just the other day there was this black lady in a white wife beater trying to sell what I think was hand lotion. I peeked out my window to see who the hell it was banging on my door. She must have seen me because all of a sudden she began to wave her arms in the air toward every part of my house. I think the girl thought she was funny. So I just ignored her. Crazy woman.

No because I live in a gated community no soliciting allowed. :)
