Combatting Door to Door Salesmen Advice
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).

Ah yes, they're the ones who recruit people to sell the crap, drag them several states away and pay them next to nothing and leave them stranded when they quit.

J/K

no but seriously a lot of municipalities do require permits, and even if they don't the police wouldn't mind being called. We have "field interview reports" that are perfect for these situations, if the neighborhood gets a rash of burglaries it gives the detectives a starting point in investigating them. Even if the sales person isn't the one that was doing the break-ins or sharing the information with someone else to do them, they may have seen something suspicious.

Yep. I had a lady try and sell me that stuff a year or so ago. She had a big sob story (which could have been legit) about not having any money and how they drop her off each day. If I had cash in my pocket, I probably would have given her $10 and told her to keep the crap cleaner. As it was, I tried to be as nice as I could and just told her to politely **** off.

Yup. And the awesome part is that they advertise it as if they're doing charitable work by employing these inner city kids.
