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).

No solicitors sign, and personally, we don't answer our door unless we recognize who it is. (FedEx, neighbor, Publisher's Clearing House, etc.)

She usually doesn't. This guy had, evidetky, waited until UPS came to deliver, then he walked up and confronted my wife before she could get back inside, which is one if the things that freaked her out and pissed me off.

I don't bother with the sign. We just don't open the door. We have a door-height window right by the door and the salespeople can see us as we round the corner, see them, and then go back to what we were doing. They get the hint.

I don't answer the door unless I know who it is. And I bet the company was Kirby.

If you have the sales person's name you could always call the police and/or city and see if he had a license (assuming your area requires those).

I actually enjoy opening the door so I can tell them to get the **** away from my house and close the door on them.

So this is crap. Isn't your wife Trent Green's sister? As a huge fan of Green this appalls me. Send me the name of the company and I'll send them anthrax.

Did she sign a contract? You have 3 business days to void it. Cancel the check.
