Didn’t do good with dates or sales? You don’t get if you don’t ask and you don’t keep asking if you are offended by NO.
I get the same letters.
I call them and invest 15 minutes or so leading them on asking lots of questions and getting them to think they have a mark. Sometimes I even tell them I have money problems. That really gets them slobbering. After that I tell them to go eff themselves and to let their friends in the same business know what I said.
I also lead them on and tell them we can make a deal at an outrageously high price. One made the mistake of telling me to be reasonable. I hope he regretted that.
I do the same thing with sales callers that break through my ring of defenses. When they think they may have a sale I tell them that all my assets are in the control of a guardian because of my mental health issues and prior convictions.
I usually keep the gate closed but when expecting a delivery I don’t want left there I open it. I was out spraying last week and some glad handing all-hat-and-no-cattle dude drives up, realtor he says, real tree or something like that.
Sure do have a nice place here.
Thanks, it takes a lot of work.
Are you interested in selling it?
Nope. You can leave now I have work to do.
I can get you a good price for it.
I asked you to leave. Now I’m telling you so leave.
Sorry, didn’t mean to make you mad.
Well, you did so git.
What I do depends on how much time I have and how irritated I’m feeling. I’m feeling more irritated with each passing day but also have less time so one offsets the other. I have what I want and worked for and I intend to keep it for as long as I can. My active goal is to be left completely alone.
Long answer but I’m recruiting fellow antagonists.

Waterbury (Emhardt) wants to buy the house owned by elderly Sadie Grimes (Nolan), despite her demanding a price five times the house's worth. Grimes tells Waterbury how her son was killed by an unseen figure in that house over stolen loot, and the loot was never found. Grimes put the house on the market to trap the killer, because only they would agree to the exorbitant price for the sake of the loot. Waterbury confirms her suspicion, but he dies because Grimes has poisoned his drink.
