Tough Talk,
I just moved into a wonderful and quiet little neighborhood which is perfect for my friends, family and getting to work. But right after I registered to vote, people kept coming to my door to proselytize me. I’ve never had a problem with anyone as I politely but firmly tell them I am not interested in joining their church. However, one guy who I think is missing an eyeball -he has this wacked looked on his face – keeps coming to my door. I’ve made it clear that I’m not interested, but he shows up every other week when I have a little time to myself. One time, he like ordered me to read from his stupid pamphlet. I want him to get lost, but don’t want to start a problem. What do you think I should do TT? (Sweet Home, Florida)
SH,
In the TT family going back generations, we always used a tried and true tactic. Next time he shows up, tell him to wait right there and you want to talk to him but have to turn off the stove. Immediately close and lock your door ignoring anything he might say. Go to the closest sink, fill it with cold water and take your time: at least 5 to 10 minutes. Go to the door and dump the water on him. You then say at the top of your voice get off my property. You’ll never see him again.
