[QUOTE="donna723, post: 584327, member: 1883"] Thing of it is, most of us were raised to be very polite and never rude. It's a hard habit to break and it puts you in a difficult position with some of the more persistant ones that go door to door. And they know this, especially with women. They know that if they keep right on talking, you may be hesitant to stop them or to close the door. It was a very long time before I could ignore what they were saying, just say, "Sorry, I'm not interested", and shut the door. And if anyone ever tried to prevent me from closing the door, I guarantee you they'd be limping back to their car because that door IS going to be closed, whether their foot is in it or not! In some instances though, they do seem to prey on the vulnerable and many times it's the elderly. I've known people who were actually so [I]lonely[/I] that they didn't mind talking to them and even invited them in to their house! [/QUOTE]
