These "salesmen" (these ones have been kids arount 15-17 years old) have hit our place like the plague, every second day either one or two of them show up, my wife will not open the door to them she just talks to them through the front window. They keep giving us this tale about some trip to the bahamas and "this is the last day", or "I'm in #1 place and I just need a couple more subscriptions"...One of the jack-offs even tried to put his foot in my door jam over the threshold, I told him to move it or loose it...My wife's friend also had an armed intruder enter her house while she was home alone with her two babies a day after the same salesmen came to her place looking to sell magazines...

http://www.travelingsalescrews.info..."this is the last day", or "I'm in #1 place and I just need a couple more subscriptions"...We've had this version too. We hate professional solicitors but we're the type that will always buy band candy or one box of cookies from each of 8 or 10 girls scouts that knock on our door.
We bought a subscription to Reader's Digest from a nice 15ish girl who claimed that she only needed "one more order" to win whatever. Three months later we received a month-old copy, then a few more sporadically, then nothing.
