Yesterday was an interesting day. I was accosted at work by a very tenacious salesperson. He came into Hot Pots during our slow time, selling the "world's best" cleaner. Our conversation went something like this:
Him: You want to buy this.
Me: No, no I really don't.
Him: But this cleans everything. This can replace everything in your cleaning closet. It cleans clothes, walls, appliances, brake dust.... blah blah blah.
Me: That's nice, but I'm really not interested.
20 minutes later:
Him: That window looks pretty dirty. Let me clean it for you.
Me: You can clean it, but I'm not going to buy anything from you today.
Him: Look! It's fog resistant. (blows on glass)
Me: That's nice and wonderful. I'm sure you have a great product, but I'm really not interested, today.
Him: Well, I'm only here today, and you won't want to miss out on this great deal!
10 minutes later, after walking around cleaning things in the store randomly, all while spouting the wonders of this particular cleaner:
Him: It's made of all natural products. Wanna smell it?
Me: I smelled it twenty minutes ago. It smells like Orange Clean. Which I can get at a store for three bucks.
Him: But this is so much better! And it's completely non toxic.
Me: Oh yeah? Drink it!
Him: *Opens spray bottle, takes long swig.*
Me: *dumbfounded stare*
20 minutes later:
Him: Oh come on, you've GOT to be kidding. You want this cleaner.
Me: I can't afford your cleaner.
Him: What are you doing later? Where are you going out to dinner? You could save money that way and buy my cleaner, instead.
Me: I'm going to eat ramen noodles later on. Then I'm going to lick bread crumbs off of my kitchen floor. I'm seriously that broke.
Him: How much do your ramen noodles cost?
10 minutes later:
Me: Look. I've got nothing better to do for five hours yet. I'm stuck here. You're just wasting your time. If you want to waste your time amusing me, you are welcome to do so. But I am NOT buying anything from you, EVER. Don't you have anything better to do?
Him: You want to cuss me out, don't you?
Me: Not particularly.
Him: You must be a Christian. You go to church, don't you?
Me: Nope.
Him: Oh.
He finally left, disgusted by my patience and my failure to throw him out. I gotta admit, I could have thrown him out at any time, but I wanted to see how long it would take him to give up. I should really stop tweaking with people for my personal amusement.
