I've had the same problem with Republicans trying to sell me on
trickle down economics.

I responded with, "You are a pain in the ass and don't listen. Get out of
here; you are really starting to **** me off."

He tries again to yap about the system "features". I got up from behind
the counter. I think he saw the look in my eye because he beat feet out the
door, got in his BMW and drove off.

Wow. I have never had an experience like that.

Could you not just tell him you were late for a meeting and ushered
him out? You could have used the same tactic you used with the kid
who wanted to hang out playing guitar all day.

Maybe you should take breathing lessons from Yogi and Boo Boo (Tom and
The Freak).

Well, the freak is the freak, and is more or less the co-performing
seal, along with his buddies loogie and herring.

Tom reminds me of one of those yahoos at the playground basketball court
who takes his ball and leaves if anyone questions him about anything,
especially after he goes overboard on something he believes or thinks he
read...somewhere.

I wonder if that's something they teach in ... the marines.

According to my father, that's not taught in the Marines.

What fun would that be? Though it's happened only twice to me, those
2 salesmen didn't understand anything except the threat of physical
removal. Besides, they were so obnoxious that's what they fully
deserved.
One of my favorite lines is from Unforgiven, where the kid says to
Eastwood, about the cowboys they killed, "They had it coming, didn't
they?"
He replied "We all got it coming, kid."
Aside from deeper meanings, that's always true for some salesmen.
What, nobody makes you mad? Sure as hell don't get that impression
here.

I'm passionate about politics, even with friends. But they know it's
just passion and not anger (unless you mention Bush or Cheney).

When dealing with a complete stranger, I make sure they know that I
don't have any more time for their rap and politely get them on their
way. It's easier to ease them into leaving than waiting until they
**** you off. Walking them to the door is an easy method.

He was not a complete stranger.
He wouldn't accept several polite "No's" for an answer.
He wouldn't stop talking long enough to listen.
He was insisting on pushing something on me that I repeatedly (and
professionally) informed him I didn't want.

Then I got tired of being polite.
Then he listened.

After you armed yourself with furrowed eyebrows and a menacing look.

That's what I did. Walked them to the door. They were walking
backwards. Only way they would go. You never ran into these guys.
Consider yourself lucky.

I have knowledge of sales people. The pushier they are, the quicker
they find themselves at the door with a cheerful goodbye.

I'm not saying that I haven't had the urge to be rude back, my sense
of etiquette won't allow it. That's what I come to rec.boats for.
