my favorite story of door to door salesman is when some unmarked white van came around the neighborhood selling meat. My dad opened the door said "sorry... we, uh, we're all vegans" in the most awkward manner, the dude 100% knew it was a lie but just said "yeah alright sorry for bothering ya" and left
Haven't seen the van meat man other than that 1 time, no idea why he was selling meat out of a creepy white van but I hope it's not what I'm thinking. I wonder where he is now
I got the case once: someone was selling potatoes door to door from a weird van.
We got a few robberies in the village a bit later and the police told us that the people were actually checking all houses to see who was here or not and which houses were worth it.
That’s actually legitimately scary.
As a child, I was suspicious of the Swanson Ice Cream trucks that randomly appeared in my neighborhood.
