I had that situation at a mall too. Some girl working one of those carts called me over. She was pretty cute, and appeared to be Greek or Italian. (She had dark hair, which is a common trait in that region.) First, she made a bit of small talk with me, including asking me if I had a girlfriend. (No.) Then she started showing me a bunch of nail care products, and I knew pretty much right away that this was going to be a sales pitch. I thought about trying to flirt with her, but she was way too pushy for my tastes. She took my hand, and by that point, I didn't even care that it felt good. Then she rubbed some kind of ointment on my fingernail, and rubbed it with a smooth nail file. By the end, it looked smooth and shiny, like a girl's nail.

The salesgirl asked me: "so do you like it?" I thought about saying: "yeah, but I'm thtarting to quethtion my thekthuality" ("starting to question my sexuality" said with a gay lisp), but since I was concerned I might offend her, I ended up saying: "it's alright" in a tense voice. "You don't like it?", she asked. "Too smooth for my tastes", I responded. By that point, I was getting tired of her sales pitch. So I pretended my cell phone just rang (on vibrate), picked it up, said "hey", waited a few seconds, and said into the phone: "Are you serious? What happened; is he OK?" Then I turned to the girl, who had an "oops, I'm sorry I'm making a sales pitch at a time like this" look on her face. Finally, I said to her: "I gotta go", and took off walking fast, holding the phone to my ear.

Maybe faking that someone I know got injured wasn't the best way to get rid of a pushy salesgirl, but at least it sends a message that not everybody wants a sales pitch when they're at the mall.

This is not something new ...it is well known that companies use charming cute girls with sweet way of talking as salespersons,this approach seems to work very effectively with the other gender.
You didn't picked up a cute girl , you were just about to be pickpocked by a cute girl.

The one and sole time that I saw a girl, thought to myself "I'm going to pick her up" and actually did so was a girl they had selling perfumes and colognes.

And yes, I'm sure it worked. :wink: If her response was just a sales pitch, it was easily the most involved sales pitch I've ever been party to.

I'm sorry but this thread is begging for my commentary, the fact is your stories are fricking tame compared to mine, as the girl I met actively hit on me without me making a damn move, but the "best" part isn't the fact that I was basically standing there and she was "hitting" on me, it's the ending, now on with the horror show.

*Is walking around in the local mall*

Vered: Hey you!
Surtr: Hmmmmm....
Vered: Yeah you, can I have a moment of your time?
Surtr: *walks over*
Vered: *Blabs about sea salt product*
Surtr: Ok....
Vered: Give me your hands...
Surtr: *does so, she wash's my hands with salts*
Vered: What is your name?
Surtr: *NAME WITHHELD*
Vered: My name is Vered.
Vered: Has anyone told you, you are a very beautiful man?
Surtr: Nope.
Vered: Well it's true, do you have a girlfriend?
Surtr: Nope.
Vered: Why?
Surtr: Girls aren't interested in me.
Vered: I'm interested in you.
Surtr: ????????! !! What are trying to pull?
Vered: Do you like the sea salts?
Surtr: They're ok, I guess.
Vered: They are $50.
Surtr: Don't have that much.
Vered: $30.
Surtr: Still don't have that much.
Vered: Because I like you.... I will make a special offer, $20.
Surtr: *Stupidly buys into her sheninigans* Ok, I have 20, for you I guess I will.
Vered: Here I'm giving you my number, make sure you call me and tell me how it is.
Surtr: Ok.

*Later*

Surtr: *calls number*
Answering machine: *girl with a higher pitched voice and typical American accent*: Sorry I'm not here right now, please leave a message.
Surtr:..............Son of a....

Just to let you guys know, this wasn't a case of "whoops, wrong digit" number thing either, because I did some extra-curricular snooping and found out it wasn't anywhere close to her number.
