So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble?

Just Stop Talkin' and Back Away.
Yesterday I was installing something outside in the yard. It had the world's tiniest screws. Just as I was about to put the first screw in, a salesman showed up behind me. He was selling some type of home improvement service. Not sure what, because I cut him off with a "We're not interested right now."

He continued his spiel, to which I replied, "We're not interested right now."

Spiel kept going, one last, "We're not interested right now." After which, I turned my back and just ignored the continued patter. He seemed a bit miffed at that, but whatever.

A tip, if you're trying to sell me something and I say, "We're not interested right now." Stop talking except to say thank you and offer your business card.

And BTW, I know you didn't just "do the windows across the street". I know that for a fact, because I recommended the contractor who did them.
