Many sad cases here and on the planet, our choice over the years has been project literacy plus have had a stop order for meals on wheels for the aged since I have had a bank account, never thought I might live to actually be brought a meal.
As normal supermarkets with the car park guys are sometimes a pain plus I also had a guy follow me with a bag of flour saying he was short, I gave him a score and next thing he had a cheap bottle of wine, was over the moon and always glad roles not reversed.

The problem is when politely declining,whether it be beggars or the jehovahs witnesses,it is read as a sign of weakness or uncertainty so the trick,unfortunately, is how to end the interaction in the shortest possible time.
I found that the doorbell ringing converters also react best to "sorry I'm Catholic"..........they move off without a murmur.

There are many such.
Some are highly trained and one I know of there is no getting away no matter what, because of the professorial skills he has acquired. Last time I escaped with a packet of Peter Stuyvesants and a chocolate bar.

But the true connoisseurs of the game are those of high class profile.

The stories are endless.
50 years ago there was this guy who visited a small island and managed to convince everyone he was a NATO admiral from Napples HQ. Many islanders were seamen so he started delivering promises to them. He was going to secure admission of their sons to the navy academy and other such. Everyday someone invited him for dinner and they were queuing up. But in the end someone, somehow smelled the rat. So he reports to the police and next day when the daily ferry arrived, the ferry's captain who was informed about it goes to the fellow and invites him to inspect a small platoon of sailors, supposedly in honour. The crook -perhaps unwillingly- goes to the port and does that. But when the "inspection" was finished they told him "now come aboard and we will show you your new quarters" ...

My ex "racing friend" who actually doubles as high class and low class, has countless victims.
One time there was this betting shop agent who was using some specialist software for his clients. He was very friendly with me. One day he phones me and says "listen mr ... is not quite satisfied with my software, so I purchased something new and I want you to show me how it works". So I did and after the demo I said "ok, now our friend mr ... will be ok", Week later I go to the same shop but now the faces were down on the floor and instead of "wellcome" they started telling me things like "queue is on the other side mister, stand properly please". What had happened ? As I found out, our "friend" had left them with a 1000 euro debt and was already looking for a new haven !
