Even if I was interested in what you were selling, you immediately lost the sale. Dumb [BLEEP].

Do what I do.  Let the “no soliciting” sign do it’s work.  If that doesn’t work, the dog should.  My dog will act like she’ll rip you face off.  If she doesn’t, I most certainly will.  

Funny you say that, I gave an estimate a week or two ago for a neighbor of a current client that talked us up a lot.  This guy seemed so disinterested. Shook his hand, no eye contact.  This man was getting his lawn cut and at the same price of his neighbors.  Then wanted every damn bell and whistle, thinking he’ll get the same quote the neighbor gets.   I kept adding on to what my real estimate would have been. He wanted to question why it was so high.  Guess whose lawn I’m not mowing!  Answer: you’re a [BLEEP] douche bag.
