protecting yourself from a scam doesnt always feel good....

ok, so i went to the store to get the kids and i some ice cream, right ?

as im going in, im approached by a man who was talking rather quickly about things i didnt want to hear. you know.... the 'salesman' type ? rolleyes

now, i try to move away... because, really, i just came for ice cream....

he pushes his way over... follows me and is still talking...

something about, buy these magazines so i can go on some vacation, here, call my mom - she'll tell you what im doing out here... i only need to sell one more... blah blah blah...

now, im pretty polite until given the reason not to be, and this guy is starting to piss me off, right ?


so, i get kinda smart with him... that was my mistake sigh

he follows me around in the store.. asking me to just buy the magazines for him and then i can take him home and we can party since im not wearing a ring on my finger....


eek anyway, i thought he left ... he disappeared as i was checking out..

i come outside, and hes at my car eek

says, so, are you takin me with you ??

i said, look man, i just came for ice cream for my kids.... im not taking you !

and do you know what he said to me ?????















WELL FUCK YOU THEN BITCH !!!!

omfg hug I don't like salespeople either, but to have one demand things from you like that makes me dislike them even more. That guy sounds like a freakin looney! wacky disbelief Too bad you didn't have a cell phone with you when you got to your car and saw that wacko standing there. You could have walked back into the store where he couldn't see you and called the cops on that idiot! Glad he didn't hurt you or your kids, but man, you must have been pretty scared when that jerk wouldn't leave you alone.

why? do you know this lady? eek
It was in the back streets of Highett actually, very dodgy area. You may have seen on the news (YEARS ago) this guy with a sword standing at the intersection of Flinders St and Swanston St in the city threatening people and claiming he was the Highlander (needless to say he was thrown in a paddy wagon). Well, the day before he did that he ran past me in the carpark with his sword behind his back, no shirt or shoes on. eek

well they aren't called salesmen, sounds like you were trying to be hustled by a hustler. Yes hustlers sell magazines too, they come in all different shapes, sizes, genders, and colors. I know what you mean when you try to be nice but they push you to that limit of annoyance that pisses you off.

When they call me a bitch while they are walking away without my money, I always say "thanks for the compliment".
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

OMG!!! Its shocking!!! omg

lol but disbelief too

Good job you can handle yourself nod

I was out in London with some friends on my 30th birthday, and cos I came out a club and walked into this guys path, he wanted to kill me! nod

He followed and stalked and cussed and harrassed, etc etc, he phoned some mates to come and get me, this went on ages him following us .. there was a police van parked a little along the way, so my friends reported him.. they arrested him and took him away..

some kinda freakzoid junkie, but still it isnt nice.. mad
