So you lied to my face

[AriRashkae]

Ah, but they weren't false. She meant everything she said. Still, points for creative use of the truth.

[kiwiwinelover]

Oh, not me, man. Some chick gains entry to my place under false pretenses, she's not getting out without getting roughed up a little bit.

Good to know RK...

I kinda get a guilty pleasure out of the magazine sellers, though. I wait for the point in the spiel where they'll say something about having a magazine for whatever your interest is--and they all say that. I like to look them in the eye and say, "Role-Playing." Then I get to watch them try and figure out what might fit. The fun ones have dirty minds and think I mean role-playing with the bedroom meaning. One of those offered up Maxim, saying they had articles about it sometimes.

Good evening Sir, my name is Steve. I come from a rough area. I used to be addicted to crack but now I am off it and trying to stay clean. That is why I am selling magazine subscriptions.

You know, I may have posted this already on another thread some time ago, but my grown niece and I stalked one of these magazine salesmen out of my neighborhood in my beat up old van.

But here's the thing, I'm pretty sure he was not a magazine salesman. I think he was either casing the street or trying to get credit card numbers.


He came to my door, and after giving him the brush off, I called the lady across the street, who is the "Mom" of the street and talked to her about it. She sent out the alert. Then my niece and I got in the van and started doing that "creepy van following you" thing to the guy.

He ran off, slipped down a side street, and hid. Can't say I blame him.

"And what are you're interests sir?"

"Oh me? I like to ruin the lives of people that lie to me."

[Andara Bledin]

I used to be one of those kids doing the door-to-door sales stuff.

I'd always introduce myself, tell them my organization (usually the band), let them know what I was trying to raise money for (don't diss school/community trips... it's the only way I got vacations as a kid!), and if they said no, I moved on.

I don't get arguing with people. In the time it takes to talk someone from "no" to "yes" you could hit a dozen houses and likely have more than one sale without having to fight for it.

Well Kinkoid, I must request a favor.

Please bring your van up this way, do stay for a few days, and anytime Sheriff starts his routine, will you do the creepy van going up and down the street thing to get him to leave or at least, stay inside?
