Hey, at least it worked and he took the "hint" and left. I guess he knew you weren't gonna buy meat from him to feed your dog!
I hate when people come to our house, trying to sell stuff or get us to change religious beliefs, etc.
Scary story here....Last fall, some surfer-dude-looking-guy knocked on our door, trying to sell some tools saying he needed money to pay rent. He gave me a sob story about how he was in process of moving back to somd and his family had disowned him. He was trying to get his life back on track and hoped he could make ammends with his parents. A few weeks later, I got the email from the Family Watchdog about recent offender moves - he was on the offender list, lives in southern calvert! The site showed that he had been convicted here, moved to VA, and just moved back. I no longer answer my door unless my hubby's home (or of course for UPS, fedex, etc). The bad thing is he seemed like such a nice guy and looked harmless, not like a rapist.
