I Opened the Door Last Night…and Met a Candidate for the Darwin Awards

Submitted by Victoria Arya on July 1, 2009 – 1:16 pm16 Comments

I tend to meet a lot of dumb people, so many in fact that I have stopped even thinking about them as blogging material since I would then have to start www.dumbpeopleblog.com:-)   But yesterday,  yesterday I met a guy who really takes the cake on being dumb, ignorant, and champion at putting his foot so far in his mouth that it came out of his @$$.  Now, let me set the stage…I was cooking, yeah me, I was cooking my version of Mexican rice for dinner (it turned out bland btw) and I hear the door bell ring.  My first thought: “D*mnit who would be ringing my door bell right at flippin’ dinner time?”.  The conversation over the next three minutes went something like this:

HIM:  Hi, is your husband *insert pause as he looked at me*…I mean are your parents home?

ME:  This is my house and no my husband is not at home.

HIM: Seriously?  This is your house?

ME: *Insert glare*

HIM:  Are these your kids?

ME: Yes

HIM: No seriously you are their mother???

ME: *Insert a glare that would have made a smarter man cup himself*

HIM: *Rattling on about garbage pick up and saving money…* Really they are all yours?

ME:  Yes they are.  *What did he think I stole them off the street?  The huge belly doesn’t tell you anything either?*

HIM:  So would you like to sign up for this service?

ME:   My husband is the one who handles stuff like this…*I am too lazy to do the bills when hubby will do them*

HIM:  *Hands over paperwork* Well if you could just give me a check you can postdate it…

ME: I will wait until my husband gets home to talk it over with him.

HIM:  Yeah ok, I wasn’t sure if you would be able to make this decision on your own.  I am sure that your husband wants to make these decisions since he is bring in all the dough.

ME: *Insert ball cupping glare and SLAM as I shut the door in his smiling dumb, ignorant and annoying face

 

And you know they worst part?  He was serious…and he thought he was a good sales person.  I’d rather pay extra for my garbage pick up than pay his salary. @@

  • Kekibird says:

    Oh jeeze….that’s horrible. I’ve had horrible sales people call me at work and use the whole “Little girl, let me speak to your manager” kinda of shpeal. Idiots…

  • heather says:

    Insert ball cupping glare and SLAM as I shut the door in his smiling dumb, ignorant and annoying face” Nice. lol

  • Amy Brewer says:

    OH my… I am sorry but I am laughing my butt off..I don’t know what I would have done if I were you in this situation. Probably the same thing you did..

  • Badger Momma says:

    Go, Victoria! What an ass. Did you through the paperwork back at him before you slammed the door on him?

  • kate says:

    This is why I don’t answer the door! haha

  • Wow, his ignorance is one thing but to suggest that you can’t make any decisions because you don’t bring in the “dough”, There’s a reason he’s only a door-to-door salesman

  • Marianne says:

    Seriously?!? What an A**!!!

  • CMC says:

    You know how they say ignorance is bliss? Well, that guy must be INCREDIBLY happy!

  • Gwenn says:

    Geez, what an idiot..the only mistake you made was not slamming it in his face sooner!

  • Vickie Couturier says:

    I believe I would call the company an let them know what a dumba** they have working for them

  • Heather says:

    I can’t believe he said any of that! What the h@ll! I wonder if there’s a supervisor you could call and complain about him. I suppose he thought he was being funny. I hate those people who just don’t get they’re not funny at all, but rude and inappropriate.

  • Melissa says:

    Wow, what a complete jerk! I’m too much of a b@#*h to even deal with a person like that. i would have ended up telling him off and kicking him out of my yard!

  • Victoria Arya says:

    ROTFLMAO

  • Zsera says:

    A-hole to the nth degree!

  • Tara says:

    Oh my word I cannot believe that guy! So rude! I have run into more people like that lately. Is something in the water??? lol
