SACair Forum

so yeah i was working, and i work for the sac bee walking door to door selling subscriptions(i know im an ass hole) and i went down my friends street PINKFLAMINGOs and his dad ordered something. i then arrived at one house further down the street, and i met with other guy and he decided to go up to the door with me to see how i worked and i rang the doorbell etc. and he answered and i started to give him my little speech and he stopped me and said, "you need to tell the sac bee to stop harrasing me." at this point i was taken aback and i asked "may i ask how they are harrassing you?" and he said, "by sending me free copies....etc" and i apologized for his inconvinence and he started to raise his voice and started asking for a buisness card and told me to tell sac bee, and at this he is looking over his shoulder every word he speaks. i told him, "im sorry sir i dont actually work for the sac bee we are a contractor of the bee." this seemed to anger him more for some reason? and he asked the name of the company which i didnt know and i told him this is my 4th day on the job i honestly dont know. then he looked me dead in the eye and said, "i dont like 2 guys coming up to my house and 9:30 at night(actual time 7:50) and casing my house!" i responded "excuse me sir this is a snowboarding jacket? and i apoligize for your bad experience." then he said "look theres 2 options u give me a card, or i call the cops." i smiled and said sir we are doing nothing illegal, theres no "no soliciting" sign and u willingly answered the door." he then said well look next time you come to my door light or dark it'll be with a gun, get the hell off my property!" i laughed and said "ok sir you do that have a good night"

Standard policy at my house is to answer the door in my SS tunic when the JW's or solicitors come knocking. Works like a charm.

As soon as he got hostile you should have just walked away. I dont know how you can not even know the name of the company you work for. :?

Maybe he was a paranoid schizophrenic.

Where's the threat to your life?? Telling someone that "I'm gonna answer the door with a gun" isn't a threat on your life.

Bizcuits has a very good and valid point. I go to alot of those types of calls. Kid(s) knock on door selling whatever. Home owner asks a few questions, kid doesn't give clear answers, home owner says no, kid keeps going on with speech, home owner gets worried, calls us.

this whole situation make me LOL :lol:

Im with biscuitz, but in the City of Roseville, you need to carry a Business Permit and a form of ID from the company you are working for. A lot of times you will just get told to leave, but if the citizen wants them to cite you they will.

I dislike people thinking I am the bad guy, but sometimes that is just how the clues pan out. Like the time I "tried to run over a cop." 3 people beside myself saw him change lanes into the lane I was pulling into at the same time (almost colliding with me). Could happen to anyone. But I only brought one witness to court. I didn't know the name of the street I was on or how far away the cop was. But the officer had carefully constructed notes (half were wrong, and my witness corrected me when I agreed to some of them). These notes at least sounded official. Needless to say it was a failure at best on my part and I was out a couple hundred bucks with a good lecture about unsafe driving from the judge.

Hehe, well I do get this urge sometimes to just kinda creep into the same lane as cops. I just can't control it. It really must be that face paint you speak of. :wink:
