We're going to the beach for our anniversary in a couple weeks. It's sort of a tradition.
Last time, I nearly got into a fight with a time share saleswoman in a restaurant. I got in her face and yelled at her, but that was about it. She tried accosting me, I gave her a brusque "not interested" and kept walking. She had the unmitigated gall to stop my husband with the same sales pitch. He was walking RIGHT BEHIND ME. I whirled around, got in her face, and yelled. "DID I MUMBLE? I SAID NO! NOW FUCK OFF!"
Probably not one of my finer moments, but keep in mind she'd already accosted us on the way INTO the place, and I'd had to run a gauntlet of the same sort of cockroach between my hotel and the restaurant. I'd had just about enough.
What I should have done was complain to the restaurant manager.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to my trip, but I just know I'm going to get into it with one of these people, as here I am thinking about it and I'm already getting steamed. They really are a problem down there.
I've heard is some places, they've actually damaged the tourist trade. People are starting to choose vacation spots where they know they won't be hassled by time share salemen. I haven't reached that point, but then, I'm not someone who is made nervous at the thought of confrontation. I'll say no and say it loud and clear. It IS really, really aggravating, though.
