The last time they were here, I was able to hold strong, but dear heaven, how those men almost yelled at me and rolled their eyes and came this short of calling me names because I didn't buy. They were worse than the so-called college student who showed up a few months later and got mad at me after I told her I wasn't going to buy her books, but proceeded to give me the spiel anyway. <br /><br />Anxious to hear the moral of this story!for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-16969280033574102032010-03-15T20:31:16.069-07:002010-03-15T20:31:16.069-07:00"Did I used to take flowers to the creepy shi..."Did I used to take flowers to the creepy shirtless guy and his great dane who lurked around our elementary school because I thought they looked sad?

I commiserate how you feel.<br /><br />Admittedly, I lie when I'm called or approached by salespeople.

It is better to hang on to those few extra pounds along with your money.<br />I would love to say that they came to my door to swindle me. But, no, I went to them.<br /><br />To make a long frustrating story short, what they say about them on the internet is true. They intentionally move employees to avoid having to field complaints. They intentionally mislead prospective customers. They intentionally use poor penmanship to allow for their preferred interpretation later -- if it ain't TYPED in 18pt font, don't sign it!!<br />It was cheaper to pay them off than hire a PI and a handwriting expert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-65975961314066167822010-03-15T10:49:56.614-07:002010-03-15T10:49:56.614-07:00Oh no!

I offered $150, and he accepted.<br /><br />I felt horrible when I told my husband. <br /><br />For me, the plus side was- the guy never ran my debit card. I was never charged for the meat, so we ate steaks for free for a few months.<br /><br />I still felt horrible, though. :(Expressions by Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09523094274108986786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-40197756703151710182010-03-15T07:57:54.351-07:002010-03-15T07:57:54.351-07:00I have a boatload of knives that were bought in ve...I have a boatload of knives that were bought in very much the same manner.Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145504027833176749noreply@blogger.com
