Is it just me or does it seem as if one cannot walk down the street without someone or something, even, trying to sell you something? Not only are there salesmen constantly pushing their product, but there are an endless landscape of billboards and commercials trying without pause to penetrate your psyche. When do you get a break? I called to pay a bill the other day and even the guy in Bangladesh attempted to sell me a purchase for my purchase. I stood witness to an altercation between a gentlemen on the street and a police officer recently and, lo and behold, the officer was giving his pitch in an attempt to acquire some information.

What happened to products or concepts selling themselves? Why so much manipulation? Personally, the second I get whiff of a pre-planned spiel or pitch, I am immediately turned off. I can imagine this is why women hate pick-up lines. I feel as if the sales person is trying to dupe me into letting them creep into my bed. I feel invaded by this mentality.
