Mall salesmen

Okay, I have some friends who are in sales, so I should probably be a little careful, but I hate sales-people! They are so pushy, and I'm so not good at telling them no. And the very worst ones are those guys who work at the carts in the middle of the mall. You know the ones. They are always selling purses, or belts, or other useless products that no one actually needs.

Yesterday I went to the mall, and as I'm walking to the next store, this guy just grabs me. His pitch started out by insulting me just a little bit - "you keep your nails natural?" Yes, buddy, I do. I grow them myself. Well he drags me over to his little stand, and I decide to humor him, all the while preparing myself to say no. After telling me I look like a nurse, and dropping his price by about 30 bucks, I'm still telling him 'no,' and I still can't get him to leave me alone! I finally had to just walk away. So irritating! Oh yes, he was trying to sell me what I can describe as a fancy emery board that was originally 60 bucks. Seriously! I don't want one! (Those people bug...)
