I was sitting on my front porch last evening and a young man comes up and says "Hi, I am raising money for my trip to Bath, England and my goal is to meet 100 of my neighbors" I said OK and was polite and introduced myself. He then goes on about selling magazines, I tried to be polite and decline (we really don't have extra money for magazines) but he kept pushing so I said, if you want to stop back by on Friday I can see about helping you out. Then he says "This is your house, right?" I looked at him funny and I said, "I don't have cash and I don't write checks" and he rips the magazine pamphlet out of my hands, stomps off mumbling "Like I'm a retard" (his words, not mine). I was shocked, I was nice, I was polite. I thought kids were told that when they are selling things door to door that they have to learn to accept when a customer declines! Not to mention if he is that immature, shouldn't a parent be with him? I was shocked and I wish I'd gotten his whole name so I could call the school.
