    <p>We've all been in situations where it seems like time stands still but again, you don't stay at a place for that long and not leave without a deal. Sounds like a combination of shit salesman and pussy family.</p>

    The $6 gift part is gold . To be honest if a fuckwit of that magnitude came around I'd keep him there till midnight demonstrating the thing in every room cleaning my house from top to bottom including my workshop with its usual inch layer of sawdust in the floor and then tell him I wasn't interested . I'd offer to give his gift back though. <br><br>
    John Banks apparently got his start selling vacuums, he'd get a housewife to invite her friends around , he'd shout cakes and stuff and the housewife was told if she sold five she'd get a vacuum for free.

    <p>we had someone turn up on our doorstep selling art about 5 years back.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>They had a picture my wife loved, and was offered at a reasonable price, so we bought one...the Israeli girl selling the pics was rather hot too, but that was not the point.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Was an article in the paper the next week about people selling art door to door that were copies.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Now art is a pretty subjective thing, so you are willing to pay what you are willing to pay...we saw similar pictures in actual shops for the similar prices, and I am 99.9% certain these were copies too, but apparently this isn't a problem?</p>

    <p>Shitty Warehouse platter with the price tag still attached. Giant red 'fuck off' flag right there.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>When I read that story, I was of the same mindset as others. It is YOUR house, people. If you ask them to leave and they don't, you get the trusty cricket bat from the shed and say I'm giving you one minute to exit, then the vacuum cleaner gets it. Or you say the police are on their way, as you are now trespassing.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Far worse are the comments that say salespeople stayed til midnight or 1am. Like WTF??? Grow some fucking balls and throw them out. (This of course does not apply to the elderly. But they should grow some balls and phone the nearest family member to assist if they get trapped like this.)</p>
