akita Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 This is happening here in Austin also. They are hitting above average housing developments. The one problem they have come across is the way they represent them selves. Tattoos on the neck and arms. Earrings in both ears. Can barely speak proper English. Last time this happened to me was about a month ago. I walk out and guy jumps out of truck saying this " Hey man let me talk at ya! I have these steaks from Nebraska. You know how great the steaks in Nebraska are, Right?" I stopped him right there and told him this. " I have eaten steak from Nebraska,it is good! I will have no one ever talk at me and the weed I smell on you can get you pulled over in this neighborhood real quick!" His response to that was this. " Man, no one calling the poo poo here. I am good and do not smoke weed. I have these great steaks from Kansas city. They are better then Texas beef!" LOL, the guy was so stoned that he forgot he said Nebraska beef and could not comprehend anything/lol. Needless to say I get a letter in the mail from the Home owners association and how all Door to door meat salesmen are banned from the community. They have not come back/lol. Quote Link to comment
ShawnWatson Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 This is the reason I always answer my door for those I don't know with a filet knife and tell them I just butchered a deer and tell them to take a seat on the couch. Nobody wants to sell me sh#t. Quote Link to comment

Nobody wants to sell me sh#t. Priceless! I'll have to put a little ketchup on my knives and answer the door that way next time. Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I answer the door with a .45 freaks out everyone; neighbors, UPS, FedEx, JW, LDS, steak sales, seafood sales. It's all good except for the SWAT team GBR Quote Link to comment
krill Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Is this a remix of the junkies selling magazines scam? Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 We had a guy come to our door once and try and sell my wife steaks. My wife said she didn't have time to speak with him, but did he have a brochure or a pamplet to look at.....................he turned into a total d******d. Needless to say I conducted a traffic stop on this guy as our city requires a permit to sell items door-to-door to protect our residents from scams just like this. He didn't realize it was my wife and I gave him an ear full about trying to rip people off and next time I'd issue him a ticket, tow his vehicle, and put a hold on it so leave the city. He hasn't been back since and we've received no further calls on such a scam. A-hole! Quote Link to comment
