Had a situation at my front door this evening

[Big_McLargehuge]

I had a girl try to pitch me a "carpet cleaning" deal including "one room cleaning done free". She could barely hide her attempt to scope out the inside of the house as I cracked the door. She didn't have any business cards or anything. After I got her to leave she got into an unmarked truck parked at the end of the block. Also, this was well after 9pm on a winter night. I now have a "no solicitor" sign. Haven't been bothered by crooks or missionaries since.

I'm a youngling to this hipster Internet lingo. What is a "nb4 hip shot" ?

What did the poopoo have to say?

Does it have the typo in it? (WII instead of WILL)

Sheesh, what a jerk... this is why it's a good idea to have (and use) a peep hole in your door

That's a Kirby salesman.

Way back when Danny, the OP made his first posts to this forum, he was going to shoot somebody in the hip at his apartment complex for what ever reason I don't remember. It went viral to say the least.

To Danny's credit he weathered the storm, and is still on here.

Sounds like he lives in a rough neighborhood.

Was a pitch for a service, not a product. It was obviously a ploy to case my house and locate valuables to collect at a later time.

They will offer a free room of carpet shampooing because they make you sit through a demonstration of the entire system. The shampoo part is the final attachment they show. They have to offer something to get in the door. So it's 1 free room shampoo and they will typically carry around laundry detergent to give as gifts also. They aren't trying to sell you shampoo services. They want you to buy a $1000 vacuum.

Works great, but you have to wear hearing protection if its still the one my sister bought.

Anyone else find it ironic that the after-action plan for a bunch of guys who ignore no-gun signs is to literally order no-soliciting signs?
