Do you pay attention to people like these?

no if they persist i make a comment to make them stop.

I have but, their insistence, I can understand. I mean, they're merely trying to do their work and when things seems to be difficult, they tend to become persistent and forget being carefull on not annoying those that they like to convince on trying out anything that they are trying to offer. When I encounter people like that, I merely say no and move on with my way.

It's all in the approach. If they are pushy, then my natural reaction is to pull back and I never ever give to them just to shut them up. That just encourages them. Sometimes, If I'm in a hurry and they are polite, I will sometimes even finish up what I need to do and go back and at least listen to them. Like I said, it is all in the approach.

Unfortunately, there are many people like these who make a living in this way. I try to be polite and most will not insist. They know that it is rude to persist. Cheers!!

It depends I may or may not pay any attention to them.First I assess the situation to see if they are really in need.If I believe that they are really in need and I have the time and resource I will try to help .If however I believ that they are a scam then I wont oay them any mind.

That is harassment and I wouldn't put up with it. If it happens in a particular area all the time, maybe I'd contact the police and let them know of the solicitors or, I'd call them in front them maybe then they would know to leave you alone or, go to jail!

I hate that! I just politely smile and say no and if they persist just keep walking.I would really hate to have that job,as bad as telemarketing,tried briefly,yuck!

Yes, it is annoying and it is their job to annoy us! LOL! I just ignore them and not give attention to whatever they put in front of me. I think, they get the drift.

Yup, they can be very annoying, but they're just trying to make a living. That's what stops me from snapping at them. So I'd just smile and say 'no thanks'. Or I would use the language problem. There was one guy who persisted in selling his stuff to me, but he was talking Mandarin - I asked him 'can you speak English?' - he walked away. I tried this on others - those who speak English to me, I'd reply in Mandarin. However, there are also many who are conversant in both languages - when that happens, I'd have to think of something else to get rid of them!

nope! they are annoying.. most agents keep following you and insisting you about the product.. there's once specific insurance company that has been offering plans to shoppers and every time i go and visit the mall, someone will come near me and ask me if i already have credit card. what the heck! There's one incident when i already shouted at one of their agents because he keeps on asking me.. he's really exasperating!

I've seen these kind of people at the malls. I just say no thankyou and keep on walking. Sometimes if I see them approaching other people, I walk a different way or far away from them so they can't stop me.

i dont like too they are so irretating, the more you say no the more they pursue and follow you.

I have experienced something like this before. And it was really annoying because most of the time, they will keep you offguard. Like you were going down the escalator and would just pop-out in front of you and followed you wherever you go. I would just tell them i am not interested. And would walk as fast as I can. I would never talk or answer any of their questions because if you say something, it will lead to another question.

yes. that actually happen to me, but a beggar was asking for money not for credit card. well, me and my classmate give him a money and he's asking for more, then after that, we said to him that we already give him a money and stay away now from us, but he said that we all should give him money, and we said no to him, then after that, we run until i fall to the floor unexpectedly, and my classmates make fun of me. actually it was a funny story that my classmates laugh out loud. and then the beggar was lost because one of my classmate get too angry on him. so he stay away from us. happy mylotting! ^^ HAHA! :)

i also get annoyed by then. more or less we face these persons. But may be sometimes when they ask for credit cards and something, its part of their job. sometimes they are just selfish.

At one point, I think that´s very annoying when someone just jumps right in front of you and offer you this and that, asking you whatever they need to know or hoping to get donations from you. The fact here is that these people are actually trying to manipulate you by trying to look friendly or pitiful or even well coiffed. I don´t give these people a chance, never gave them a chance. Call it brutally blunt but reality bites. If we give them a chance to manipulate us or anything close to that, they would try whatever they can to make sure and get what they need. I think what I´m trying to say is that we should always stay safe. Safe from manipulative people.

Yes, I had experienced it many times already and I really hate it especially if I'm in a hurry.. Honestly, I easily get irritated when someone keeps on asking me or pushing me to buy their products.. I try my best to be polite also to them cause I know that they were doing those things for the sake of their job.. But sometimes I still feel irritated with them and no matter how I tried to be polite still I am being bad and disrespect to them.. Well, the usual thing I do to leave me alone is just keep on walking and don't mine them at all after I said "I'm not interested"... Same as you, even though we told them already that we are interested still they were keep on pushing their self to us.. So, I just keep on walking and don't mine them at all.. Sometimes, when I was walking still far from them I'm already going to the other side of the road to just go away from them.. Sometimes I don't have a choice but to go through them..

I usually just say NO, thank you... even if it's someone asking for money. But the other night, as I was putting away my groceries in the car, this kid in a bike asked for some change so he could take the last bus to somewhere. He got me good as he came out of nowhere and messed up my rehearsed answer so I ended up giving him some money. But he was nice and polite so I just let it go,

Well, its a general theory about them is that they think that they can sell anything to anybody. When I asked a man who is the best seller, he said, "The one who can sell fan to a citizen of north pole and a comb to a citizen of a desert. So, they are there to sell their products and what we can do is to avoid them if we don't want their products. Do it at your best, after all they are humans!

I smile and say "No, thank you" then try to excuse my self as polite as possible - like how you did. But if they keep on insisting then they're into a surprise, I may just lash out...or walk away pretty fast if I'm feeling more friendly. Thanks for responding to my other discussion!
