Why do people try & sell me home electronics from their car in the middle of traffic?
I'm sitting in my car at a light and someone in the car next to me wants my attention. They proceed to tell me about some home stereo equipment they have in the back of their SUV that they got a discount from their work and don't need or something like that. Then they put on a hard sell and continue to ask if I want to buy it, but they never get specific about what it is. Sometimes they even drive next to me for a few hundred feet to keep the conversation going. Eventually they drive off on the find someone else to bother.
This has happened to me a half a dozen times over the years and a few things are always the same. Its always a kid or two who look like they could be in college and initially look like they need directions more than fencers. Usually in a nice SUV too, but always in a bit of a hurry.
Who else has gone through this? I am sure several of you have, do you know what the deal is? Why is it always the same situation? Like I said, at least 6 times and its always the same.
