Not Interested

I don't like people like that at all. I used to sale stuff, like avon or even candles. I didn't really push or ask any "strangers" to have parties or purchase. That's probably why I don't sell the stuff anymore. LOL I didn't make enough money to support my own habit. LOL.

well,in my case i tell them oh cool.if my mom has an "accident",they can be there to help me clean it up. ..they don't ask again i would just tell her point blank,look,i can't host it,period,sorry. it sucks you have to be that up front sometimes,but they leave you no choice.

I don't even want to attend - just leave me out. Hmm, wonder if that's part of not being a parent I might also enjoy...

I've never been to one of those parties, nor have I hosted one, and I'm not the least bit interested either! yes I know people who do them. There is a friend of mine who either hosts them or helps her sister host them. She has mentioned them to me, sort of along the lines of "ugh.. I have to do this party tonight". She hasn't invited me, and that's fine, because I'm broke and would never buy any of that stuff. I'd certainly get highly annoyed if someone kept bugging me about that stuff! Give it a rest lady!

There are some people who don't know the word stop. If they continue to bug other people this way then eventually they will be ignored. I find this habit good and impressive if use in the right way.

You are probably trying to be too nice. I used to tell my mother when these people would phone the house or come to the front door trying to sell something she would say " not today thankyou" so of course they would think that was an invitation to come back some other time. I taught her to say "no" in no uncertain terms, and it generally works better. If she asks you and you are not interested, you must tell her no, I am not interested now or not ever. Then next time she asks you must say, what part of no did you not understand when you asked me the last time? I seem to get the same with some Christian acquantances, tell them I am not interested and that seems to make them try harder. Not sure what that is all about.

hosting never my strong suit dont like to clean up the mess

I don't like people like that at all, i used to sell avon and would have little parties like that but i was gracious and lady enough to realize that "no thank you" means just that and i wouldn't press it at......i gave up on avon soon after (not because the parties didn't turn out) but because women were so rude when i would just try to give them a catalog....one lady i worked with replied "i don't have time for that!" and practically threw the catalog back at me and when a coworker said "hey you didn't have to be so rude!",her response was "i don't care, im tired and cranky" and laughed at me for weeks before i got fired from that job.....so dont feel like this womans business is dependant on you, if you are polite, thats all that should matter

I've dealt with a lot of those. I tell them flat out when they first mention it that I don't do parties and can't afford to attend. Needless to say, I didn't stay on their mental list of "friends" for long after that no matter how nice I was to them. Those people are such users and I always felt better off without them!

This has happend to me on a few occasions and when I am not interrested I just explain that I am not interrested at the moment and if in the futur I am interrested then I will let you know. I find this way I am being polite, firm and not giving her any hope. And in the future if I do not mention it again then this means that I am not interrested and is she or he would ask me again then my response would still be the same.
