I had a laugh today when I was in the mall, and I managed to do something extraordinary, to shut up a sales-person completely.

There is this one stand with hair-extensions in the mall on my way to the buss. The salesperson often tries to sell his products to me, but I'm usually wearing head-sets or running to the buss. But today he started walking beside me and babbling something about hair-extensions, I tried to wave him of and keep on walking but he didn't give up. So I stopped and said that I really don't want or need extensions. Of course he wouldn't believe me but kept on talking :rolleyes: So I finally reached out and took away the hairstick from my bun so that my hair fell out. That got him really quiet :cheese:

I found out that he didn't even have extensions that mached the length of my hair :lol:

That's brilliant! Especially because your hair's already quite long, I can imagine what that must have been like ^_^

LOL MoonCreature.

You have me smiling.

Actually I was thinking of hair extentions when I was reading the post about being professional, which I never got to respond to. I should.

I was thinking those sme silly ninnies would be the first to get extentions to make their hair long to look good when going out.

:applause ha ha, this is priceless. I would have loved to have been there to see his face. I bet the silence was deafening once you let your hair down.

I would have loved to see the expression on his face. LOL Sounds like something I'd do, too. Except I don't think my hair is quite long enough for that little trick to really work just yet. :D

You said that the same salesman tries to bug you all the time?? Maybe he fancies you.....and then was stunned when you showed him your locks!!

Great Move :D I can just imagine his face..did he say anything else after that?

Last time I was bothered by someone selling extensions they said I should cut off my hair and then get long and thickening extensions since my natural hair is so thin..:rolleyes:

They try anything to sell you that crap.

that's GREAT. Brilliant!:cheese:

one time a doctor told me I needed to lose weight. I was a bike racer at the time and solid muscle, so I made him feel my leg - actually took his hand and made it grip my thigh. His eyes got really big and he apologized and muttered something about muscle weighing more than fat.

LOL!! Excellent. I'd love to be able to do something like that. Maybe I'll go stalk some hair extension sellers and see what happens :p
Seriously though his face must have been a picture.

And Katze, your story is funny too.

Wow, I was trying to think of a way to relate this story to all of the confrontations I've had with service providers. Couldn't have done it better :D I usually just tell them I need a provider that works in Iceland too, and they're reluctant to look up all of their affiliates because they don't have enough resources to do it from their mall-booths.

One day a few years ago, at a mall I asked the hairpiece kiosk salesperson for an opinion. Her deadpan reply: "You have enough hair." :grin:

Thanks for sharing your (priceless) experience, MoonCreature!
