Over the past few days, 3 door to door salesmen have come by. They were selling vinyl windows, lawn care, and some sort of philanthropy for disabled people. I actually just closed the door on the window salesman and I felt horrible. It's raining hard and he had a huge drip of water on his nose... he was soaked! His tag-a-long trainee looked as if she was frozen solid and I felt so bad that I tried to let them down easy as I said no thanks.
I seem to remember saying "try to stay dry..." hope that didn't sound condescending.
It has to be tough doing that kind of sales work. I had a friend in college that spent an entire summer selling reference books door to door. He literally walked through the tread on his shoes! The money was terrible and his self-esteem was so low when he got home that it took him 6 months to recover.
If the spent the same amount of time at an hourly job, wouldn't that be a better use of their time. I suppose it must work sometimes. We did buy a freezer full of meats from a guy last summer (best free range stuff I've ever tasted!).
If you are not asking for a couple of eggs from a neighbor or wearing a girl scout uniform, I think most people would prefer if you let us find you!

Yeah dude selling door to door was the most ridiculous thing I have ever done! If you really want to buy something I am sticking to the traditional store front.
