Life Combatting Door to Door Salesmen Advice

NewChief · 04-12-2011, 08:01 PM

My wife got exploited today. Some pushy ****er came to our door, intimidated her, and talked her into buying his product through strong arm tactics.

I've looked up the company and products online and see that this is common practice for them and complaits to the company go unheeded. So I've written this one off. But there's always future such occurrences, and I want to protect my wife (who is home alone all day working) from being scared and intimidated by some slimy thug and pressured into paying for something just to get rid of him.

So: no solicitors sign? Train her in how to slam the door in people's faces? Have her call the cops? How can I empower her to feel safe, secure, and confident in the future in dealing with these scenarios (and gun training is not the answer as someone would end up dead).
