Thread: Salesmen...

Tweet

First story of the year.

A DTD salesman just come ringing the door.

Obviously flustered, first words out of his mouth are "what's with the numbers out front". I actually used to get this from the neighbors a lot, and have purposely left out any "till Halloween" messages off our sign because I find it funny.

I tell him it's the countdown to Halloween, and he laughs asking if we do it for all the holidays. Nope, just Halloween.

The predictable question I'm sure many of us have heard.

"Why Halloween?"

Let me show you...and I open the garage....

20 minutes later, he's calling all the other salesmen canvasing the neighborhood.

Soon, I have 20 salesmen in the garage, the full lab thrown together, and running a short demonstration to a couple cell phones recording.

Never did get to their pitch....

Haha, neat story. Congrats on distracting those pesky bastards.

I wonder if it works on religious persons... probably not the same way... it would probably scare them though LOL

BWAH HA HA HA. What a great story...Did you ever even find out what they were selling?

that's an awesome story!

Thats an awesome story! Put me in the spirit a little

Thats great! Glad to hear they were at least interested in listening for once instead of running their mouths to make a sale! Lol! Thanks for sharing!

Lol I would have love to seen it and even better you didn't get the salesman's pitch

If there was a "like" button I would have used it on this post =)

If that didn't scare them away, I know what does.

I have 5 brothers (no sisters). I'm the second oldest. When my youngest brother was 15, one day the Jehova's witnesses were canvassing the neighborhood. Of course, my brother saw them working their way down the block, and he had a sudden brainstorm.

He went into my mother's room and got a lipstick, and drew a pentagram on his forehead. When he heard the inevitable knock on the front door, he opened it, and in his best demonic voice, yelled "I WORSHIP THE DARK LORD!!" then slammed the door in their faces.

Needless to say, after that, every time they worked the neighborhood, they skipped that house.

I wasn't there when it happened, but when I heard about it, I Laughed til I cried.
