So last night around 8:40pm I hear the door bell ring. I had settled in for the night, just got done cleaning up around the house and had dinner. Was just about to sit down with my wife and watch TV. So I get up and see who's at the door. We usually don't get anyone coming around this late so I was a little apprehensive already.
I opened the door and it was a door to door sales man trying to sell Lawn Care products and services. He had a uniform on, clip board and proceeded to say hello, good evening, my name is.....that's where I interrupted him and said Ummmm....no thanks, not interested thanks for stopping by and closed the door not allowing him to respond.
I know times are tough now but is it appropriate to go door to door so late? I was really annoyed that I was interrupted at home with this bull shit.23/7/2009 -

Don't feel bad - and he shouldn't be offended. Being in sales requires handling rejection - I'm sure he gets it all the time.

No, if you were a jerk you would have let him talk for an hour trying to sell his products, then say "Nah, I don't want any lawn care crap" and kick him out of your house

Door to door people should never come after the dinner hour. I know that sounds all old fashioned of me, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

I had that happen to me once, around 9pm. The guy threw a bitch fit and said the reason why I didn't want to buy his product is because "he's black." Lordy.

Fred "Are you going to eat that?" F. says:
The last time that happened to me I asked the salesman for his solicitation permit. He said he had no idea he needed one, I said, yep, you sure do and I feel it's my responsibility to report you to the police.
He left. I have no idea if he needed a permit or not.
**********************************************************
I hope that's true becasue I'm going to ask for one next time the solcitors come to the door. In way I feel sorry for them because they need to make a living but on the other hand, most of them are jerks and won't leave after you say "no thanks", that's when I get pissed.23/7/2009 -

those aggressive tactics work though. I have a friend who makes a shitload every week selling Kirby Vaccums! Those things are pretty amazing though. But he needs to get in the door to show that to the consumer first, and that's where it comes in handy.
I could never be a salesperson, I would cry after someone slammed the door in my face23/7/2009 -
Henry, ignore Valerie the town crier.
I know for a fact that she is someone who would actually go out of her way to hurt a fly, leave kittys stranded atop a tree, and remove the license from the next door doggy's caller and call in the pound.23/7/2009 -

Sounds like he was near the end of the rounds, usually stops around 9pm. Ha, I totally sold papers door to door when I was a freshman in highschool using the whole "help me pay for college script." I mentioned once how I got into SJSU as a junior, the woman said I couldn't be accepted until I was a senior, so I walked away. Needless to say, it was exciting and I made $300+ a week in cash; not bad for a 14 year old.

I don't even answer the door unless I'm expecting someone and I know who it is BEFORE I open the door. There are too many scams and evil people out there. Plus I hate having my Netflix night interrupted.
