Why is it...
that I can't just leisurely stroll the mall without those damn booth people coming at me with fake hair extentions, dead sea salt scrubs, neck warmers and flying helicopters?
All I wanted to do was browse, use my gift cards and walk the mall.
Um, I walked out with some dead sea facial scrub..btw...

Re: Why is it...
I totally agree. It is EXTREMELY annoying. I purposely avoid eye contact in hopes they won't "see me" 
BTW - Your son is adorable in your avatar pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Why is it...
Oh I know!!!
That is why I aim at them with the stroller now!!
I had one guy grab my arm and start pulling me to one of the booths one time - I almost knocked him out.
And by the way - sucka!!
I can't believe you bought something!!

Re: Why is it...
I have said this many times. I hate the Dead Sea people. Their tactic of "Can I ask you a question" is obnoxious, annoying and ruins my shopping experience. One time, I plan on being as out and out rude as they are. I may decide to either:
A) Allow them to go through their entire schtick and not buy a damn thing.
or
B) Just flat out tell them how invasive and irritating they are.
One time, one of them followed me the length of two store openings. Maybe I'll break out pepper spray.

Re: Why is it...
I had a neck thingy guy say to me last night "come on why are you so shy" as I walked past.. Umm I am not shy. I just have no interest in you when you jump in front of me and try to place something on my body.. No thanks.. means no thanks.. back off buddy.

I usually break into another language...German works well. Try a little latin as well..they don't know what to do with themselves and then go on to the next..

I can't believe you bought something!!
I know, I couldn't believe it either. But I was comtemplating a facial for the longest time. Now I got something that I can use on my face everyday. Plus I talked him down a LOT.
I'm just making myself feel better....

That neck roll guy got really aggressive at Roosevelt Field last week. I hate those vendors! Fine, sell stuff, but leave shoopers alone!

Re: Why is it...
This past week I was at the mall (hardly ever go there) pushing DC's in the stroller and the lady says...
"Miss, I have an amazing hair product..."
(I guess my hair looked like @#$% )
I said, "Really? Oh great!!" (What else do I have to do these days? )
Then I pointed to DS's hair which grows straight up. He looks like he stuck his finger in a light socket.
And I said, "Will it work on that?"
At first she was  then
I just laughed, grabbed the stroller and was off.
My entertainment for the day
