Salesman

I have a problem. I cannot for the life of me say no to someone when they knock on my door selling me something. I can pass people up when they are trying to catch you as you are walking, but when they corner me, I'm stuck. Matt gets frusturated with this side of me, so I am trying to do better. But today, they tricked me! Gosh... they were saying that they are in a public speaking class and have to meet 100 new people(I thought they were in one up here, so I was cool with that) and then they start telling me about this contest they're in and some long story, and they are selling magazine subscriptions! LAME. I was angry, and when I tried to tell them that I wasn't interested(see Matt, I did good for a second, and I didn't even buy the 2nd subscription they tried to sell me) they were like: "But couldn't you just help us out so we can win our trip to Europe," or whatever. Dang it ALL!!! Here is how I feel about this...(about 15 seconds in)

Luckily guys, the Nutrition Magazine that I subscribed to can be cancelled, and I am sending in that cancellation notice TODAY! stupid stupid. I NEED ADVICE!!! What do I do to not be such a sucker?

Emily says, "sounds like a decent idea, but I have to talk to my husband. Do you have a number where I can call?" and if that doesn't work, she says, "I just had surgery for CANCER and we are trying to adopt a baby, and we are broke because we are trying to remodel our house." By then, they usually get the picture.
