define "habitual".

I just had mormons at my door. A couple of nice looking young men, in suits, represented themselves well, articulate, polite.

I was polite too. I thanked them for stopping, but no thanks right now. I asked for a pamphlet or something and they gave me a card with mormon website address.

"Can we stop by another time?"

"No, I don't think so, but I'll keep this in mind. Thank you." big smile

Curtains down.

Thank you.

p.s.

Should I have offered them a beer?

ZenGum · 03-18-2012, 07:46 PM

Yes. And a blowjob.

Lamplighter · 03-18-2012, 07:47 PM

Did you offer to introduce them to your husbands

infinite monkey · 03-18-2012, 08:20 PM

I thought about bringing up the dead hobos out back, but they were awfully skittish.

"CAN YOU SAVE THEM, HUH? PUT THEM ON THAT THERE POST-DEAD LIST!"

HungLikeJesus · 03-18-2012, 10:08 PM

Did you get their names so foots can convert them?

Me on eBay: I'm selling my mixer
Dude: I'll buy it here's $200
Me: awesome I've just sent it off, here's the tracking number.

(delivery day passes)
(another week passes)

Dude: Hey send me the tracking number
Me: I did send you the tracking number. And UPS says they delivered it. And they say whoever signed for it, signed with your name.
Dude: I want full refund NOW!

(Dude initiates eBay complaint resolution procedure)
($200 leaves my account)

eBay: What happened?
Me: (Tells the full story)
eBay: (Almost immediately) What?! Fuck that guy! Resolved in your favor! ($200 restored)
Me: Yeah! Fuck that guy! I feel good now.

HungLikeJesus · 03-23-2012, 07:51 PM

$200 for a mixer? You must have some fancy kitchen appliances!

Aliantha · 03-23-2012, 07:53 PM

Maybe it was a cement mixer? lol

Undertoad · 03-23-2012, 08:08 PM

Dude checked off "didn't send tracking number" and "could not communicate with" on the complaint resolution form -- when his question and my clear-as-balls answer, containing the tracking number, was right in the item's eBay entry.

Some people may not be familiar with how scams operate, and why you can't just try stuff at random and have it work out for you.

ZenGum · 03-23-2012, 08:10 PM

LOL, bloody amateur.

Music mixer, as in mixing deck, perhaps?

Undertoad · 03-23-2012, 08:11 PM

mixer in question

HungLikeJesus · 03-23-2012, 08:21 PM

Was there a discount for all the dust gathered?

infinite monkey · 03-23-2012, 08:30 PM

I thought it was a KitchenAid Mixer.

The price seemed about right. And I'm local.
