I have had experience with these salespeople, and they are obnoxious beyond belief. They are terribly friendly until you tell them no, then they get ugly. They always make a point to admire your house, and then act as if you owe it to them to buy their crap because you have a nice home. One actually accused me of contributing to the gang problem in Cleveland! They often claim to be college students too. Please, we have two of our own, and we're certainly not sending them nine states away to earn college money.

declined to press charges against the woman's husband

He's probably married and doesn't want his wife to find out. She might chase him with a rolling pin.

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW AND/OR NOT EXPECTING. Period. There's no reason for "no soliciting" signs since they don't work anyway.

I don't get the business from adults as much as children. These kids are selling all sorts of sh%$ for "scholarships." They are either lying to me, or they are getting ripped off by the adults in charge of that crap. I asked one once what the scholarship amount was, and he didn't know. Another told me it was for $1000 or some low amount if they met sales quotas -- she wasn't specific as to what that was. I told both that they could make much much more money selling the stuff on their own. They both looked at me kind of funny and left -- which tells me they weren't smart enough to know they were being taken advantage of.

When I was college I helped distribute flyers for the GOP house to house. You would be amazed at how many women came to the door wearing almost nothing and then invited me in for coffee. I did not accept, but man there were an awful lot of lonely housewives out there.
