Or just tell them you don't want any of their free guilt and manipulation and shut the door. :)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564720462613298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198884230672863097.post-7813846631103842162009-02-06T11:01:00.000-07:002009-02-06T11:01:00.000-07:00I am so glad you wrote this blog.

Really. A meat salesman. Who knew such a thing existed. He was going on and on about meat and as soon as I could get a word in, I said, hey man, I'm a vegetarian. (Which I am, but I was thinking that would pretty much shut him down, at any rate.) So then he starts asking what about my husband. Doesn't he like steak? Argh.

I've actually slammed the door on a person's foot when he made the mistake of trying to block my door - then he pushed on the door with his arm. That's when I took it as an attempted B&E and *really* slammed him. As he howled I opened the window and told him he was lucky it wasn't my Smith & Wesson doing the talking.
