Good grief...where do I begin? There were a few of the lonely housewife stories I could tell but they're all kind of the same- Ya get invited in, a couple of suggestive comments, a bold move, and then fooling around. But the craziest thing that happened was down in Marion, IN. We were selling oil change coupons to one of the local auto places and this elderly man had a heart attack in the middle of my pitch. I called 911 and ended up starting cpr before the ambulance got there. The medics worked on him but couldn't bring him back...yeah, that was a pretty messed up day right there.

My craziest....wow....there are a few.
In clearance I liked to night merch just to make some extra money so I'd grab some flash lights and beach chairs and hit the bars. I walked into a bar and instantly everyone rushed me wanting to see what I was selling. Alcohol and money make a great combo, ya know. all my time in the business was between the ages of 18 and 19 so I was underage. But one time the bartender must have thought I was cute or something. I think they all assume we are of age to be walking in there. She bought me two Jager-bombs, a jack n coke, a wiley coyote, and then one other girl there bought me Heineken. Thing is, the other girl was with her boyfriend who was about 25 or so. He flipped out and swung a pool que at me. Luckily he missed and I started back away. But I didn't get far. He came after me again so I dropped my merch and swung a couple times. I missed my first two swings but my third one connected right in his cheek then followed by one more with my other hand to the corner of his eye. He must have been either pretty hammered or a total p*ssy because he dropped right there. I grabbed my merch and jumped in my car as quick as I could. I didn't want any of his friends to be there ready to back him up haha.
I had one too where a guy told me no soliciting so I walked around back of his flower shop and sold two coloring sets and a telescope to one of his workers. Well the first guy came running back as soon as he saw me, grabbed the telescope I just sold, probably thinking it was still mine, and ran out the front door. He put it in the middle of the street and I just stood in the door way watching in shock at the 50ish year old man acting like a child. A few seconds later a car ran it over and smashed the box to pieces. I chuckled and pointed at his employee and left. I guess about a week later another guy rehashed the territory and the same angry man bought 3 telescopes off him, probably one being for the co worker of his.

I was working clearance out of Detroit and a guy named Terrance was working his way across 6 or 7 mile i forget. Anyway, someone tried to mug him for his bag of merch. Terrance wouldn't give it up so the guy shot him in the leg and when he tried to run away he bolted out into the street and was hit by a car LOL!!
So then, the ambulance was racing Terrance to the hospital and it got into an accident running a red light.
True Story.
Ps. Terrance was ok...
