I am feeling kinda bad now, he seemed like a nice kid. I think I know where he lives, I should go apoligize.

Here are some suggestions for you, first avoid confrontation. Put a fence and gate around your compound. Secondly, put a "No Solicitors" sign on your door and the gate to your compound and finally, buy a TiVO or a PVR for your satellite.
Geesh! You know, they send these kids out to build social skills by interacting with the public. They recently trashed out a Girl Scout because she was making a killing selling cookies on Ebay, money wasn't the point of the exercise so she had to refund buyers. |

how so? ETA: you shoul've read my whole post. i'm serious too, the one creepy fucker that was soliciting, i ran him. he had been in & out of prison from NJ most of his life. HOME INVASION being one of his many charming qualities. so yea, again, no permit-they can get the fuck out of dodge. if you want to roll out the red carpet for them, go right ahead. if in fact wave to them as they case your house. |

That would right all wrong in IMO, would take a man to admit it and apoligize. ETA: it would also teach this kid that people make mistakes but that doesnt mean they are ALL ass holes, and a good man will fess up and pay the consequences. |

it wasn't so much off topic, i wanna know "how so?" in regards to the simple fact that while many solicitors are harmless, many can be a serious problem. he should not have have felt bad. you responded while i was edting so i'll post it again. ETA: you shoul've read my whole post. i'm serious too, the one creepy fucker that was soliciting, i ran him. he had been in & out of prison from NJ most of his life.

Well, even though there was a risk of getting the shit beat out of me by the kids dad, I went and apoligized. The father thanked me for apoligizing and we talked a bit. It turns out that the father has a nice collection of firearms, and I have a new shooting buddy.
I still feel pretty bad about what I said. |

You did overreact, and were harsh with the kid, but don't feel too bad. Everyone has their days, and says things that are out of line every now and then. It is easy to get pissed at teens, because you hear how bad many of them are on a near daily basis. Make a mental note of this event, and try not to let it happen again.[0:) Edited because I forgot to read page three. |

Glad you went and appologized. I hope your profane language doesn't fuck with the kid's head.
Anyway, get some goldfish or something to help you calm down. Just not a dog, cause if it pee's on the floor, you'd kill the poor bastard.

Ok..You went and said you were sorry..Good move..Did you buy at least $100 worth of cookie dough from the kid?
My step-son was selling cookie dough last week for Pee-Wee Football. I don't agree with any kid having to sell anything for a school or team for "equipment"... But, his mothers decision overrode mine. Then the kid had to go collect and if some jerk bounces a check, the KID or his parents have to cover it AND all bounced check charges! But, had that been my kid, you wouldn't have had to come to my house for an apology..I would have come squeezed one out of you...Then made you buy $100 worth of cookie dough and a 5 year subscription to Parenting Magazine... |

And you would have been right in doing so. I purchased two magazine subscriptions, but no cookie dough. |

I maybe a little off topic here...but I will risk it:
Be very cautious about letting solicitors in your house. While I was in Iraq last year some B!*CH and 2 companions (1 male 1 female) were selling(scamming) door to door and my wife let them in. (my wife is from Brazil and is usually very polite to strangers)My family was living in so. Utah at the time and I think these scoundrels were from Vegas. (they were black and from out of town - St. George has an extremely low pop. of blacks) Anyway, they were pressuring here to buy some cleaning product which she grudgingly let them demonstrate their product but in the end she told them NO. (she told them no several times prior to the demonstration) Well this beast of a woman asks to use the restroom and my wife hesitantly said yes (the woman insisted that she needed to go urgently) after they leave my wife walks into the bathroom to see that this B!*CH had pissed on everything from the toilet to the sink to the towls and rugs - everything. I called my wife that evening from an Iridium phone and she burst into tears - she was upset but also afraid of this woman coming back at night w/her cohorts. (my wife is small - 5'3", 105 lbs. and not gun saavy) She was worried about herself and our 4 young kids and told her firmly to call the police and file a report, throw out everything, etc., etc. I also had my 20 year old brother stay at my house for a few days just to be sure. Needless to say I will never let a solictor into my house whom I have not calle/invited/etc. and I have a standing house rule to buy nothing from solicitors. I am all for teenagers working and I am all for entrepreneurship - just don't come knocking at my door. |

The schools around here don't allow door to door sales. They leave it up to the parents to sell the stuff to their friends or at work. I forgot where it was, but some kid doing this knocked on the wrong door and the crazy fuck took him inside and killed him. Or maybe it's another urban myth.
