Door to Door Magazine Sellers

[member979979]

Have these pricks knocked on your door?

This young black guy comes to my door dressed up in a suit and tie giving me a lecture about how he is trying to keep off the streets. Then he tells me about his goal of helping to improve his community and he can only reach that goal if I order magazines from him.

At first I came off as a friend to him, then I told him no and he got mad at me for wasting his time.

Fucking scam artists.

They are scam artists being exploited by some lead scam artist operating out of a hotel room who no one will hear from again in a few days. The real problem is even if you call the cops and get these guys arrested, it is hard to get to the sleaze balls who organize these things.

Try living in an apartment complex. People will sit downstairs and keep their finger on my buzzer (which is LOUD) until I go downstairs to see who it is. Then, I see them holding some magazines in their hands, turn around, walk away and then they start hollering at me..."HEY!!! HEY YO!!! Wait up dawg, turn around. We got some good shit here for you man. Modern Science dawg. Redbook son!!!"

Exactly - there was a pretty good New York Times article just over a couple years ago about the depressing "life" working on such a crew. I would guess that more and more people will consider this for work if and when they feel they have no better options. Best of luck to them! (I mean that):

I dont get these people. I get the bastard Jehovah's Witnesses! Knocking at my door trying to preach their form of the old tired bullshit. I really should be able to throw pigs blood on them.

Or at least kill them :dunno:

The ironic thing is, the son of a bitch completely caught me off guard because Ive been expecting a repair guy to come to my house all day. Thinking it was him, I wouldnt of answered the door.

Seriously, have none of you ever answered the door naked? It's like a bullshit shield. Noone can lie to you while your swingin' dick is out. It's just too awkward on their side. And hell... if the porno's are right.. you'll get laid, too.

I mean.. ya cant get herpes twice, right? Good luck!
