Had to tell a door-to-door salesman to his face to go away (1 Viewer)

He saw me walking my dog, so I'm sure he was like "I know you're home." He wasn't letting me just ignore him.

does "I'm not interested" not work for you?

You would think. He was wearing a jacket that showed he works for an internet service provider, so I was like "I literally just got my fiber upgraded, I'm not interested" and he stood there and talked for a long time, tried to tell me my neighbors were all telling me that my ISP is bad (they're fine), and I could barely hear him because my very large dog kept barking.

I'm sure he's nice enough and just doing his job, but I'm like, you literally can't sell me on this, I was ignoring your knock for a reason.

wow. and he wasn't even fazed by the barking??? I would've just run away if I heard a large dog barking!

Right?! Normally, when I expect visitors, I kennel her, but because I wanted him to go away, I let her stand there and bark, and he was mostly unfazed. Dude is committed to selling people on getting a new ISP, I guess!

It's very rude, I should never have to talk to strangers to their FACE.

I try not to be a jerk with people who know where I live.

I really don’t like door-to-door sales

We have those ISP guys here too every now and then. When they see me on the street and start talking to me, I always tell them that I'll move in a few days anyway. There's no argument against that and they leave immediately.

I can't imagine how many people they're picking up. Like who doesn't have an ISP who doesn't already want one? It feels like a job that would be mostly unpleasant and a big waste of time.

Time to break out the Duolingo! I know how to say "I cannot speak Spanish, can you speak English" in Spanish, and that's it.

Maybe I can look up some sign language, and hope I don't get an aggressive door-to-door salesman who knows it.
